Abstract
The year 1891 saw two important publications crucial to the redefinition of authorship. In George Gissing’s novel New Grub Street , authorship was a local matter centered on the London-based world of journalism and book publishing, which had turned the profession of writing into a cut-throat Darwinian industry. A different vision underlay William Robertson Nicoll’s founding of a sixpenny monthly, the Bookman . His intended audience was unified and comprehensive--anyone (including women) who bought, read, collected, sold, or wrote books. Perhaps most important was the magazine’s promotion of authorship as an international enterprise occurring in a variety of locations worldwide. Both Gissing and Nicoll understood that writing had become an industry inseparable from the concerns of those who distributed and consumed literature. Only Nicoll, however, recognized that this industry increasingly would be global, and he encouraged that development.

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
