Abstract
Abstract This article examines the role of gender in the popularisation of Shakespeare in the long eighteenth century, providing an overview of scholarship on three groups of women: actresses (the first women on the stage and later performers such as Catherine Clive, Susannah Cibber and Hannah Pritchard), women in the theatre audience (including Elizabeth Pepys and the Shakespeare Ladies Club) and female critics (notably Charlotte Lennox and Elizabeth Montagu). In addition to suggesting further reading on the topic of women and Shakespeare and highlighting directions for subsequent research, the essay demonstrates that women were instrumental in shaping the Bard's reputation in the period from the reopening of the theatres in 1660 to David Garrick's Shakespeare Jubilee of 1769, the height of the period's adulation of Shakespeare.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 it
