Abstract
Sculptor, actress in private theatricals, novelist, executrix of her godfather Horace Walpole, and legatee of Strawberry Hill, Anne Seymour Damer (1749–1828) was also vilified in libellous pamphlet satires as a Whig and a Sapphist. My article explores Damer’s figuration of comedy as a fatal emblem of her life, a life interpellated by the violent comedy of satirical abuse. Tracing the intricate multimedia landscape that hosts Damer as a figure of sexual scandal from the 1770s to the early 1800s, this essay examines the inter penetration of theatricality, publicity, and fictionality that marks Damer’s life and career, as well as her extravagantly reparative capacity, as a skilful manipulator of artifice, for pleasure and diversion. My analysis of intermedial relations between theatre and print focuses on genres with a key—à clef—and the occulting, emblematizing, and deflection that is theatricality’s prerogative across a range of print, performance, and visual forms.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
