Abstract
While previous studies have debated the extent to which Sarah Scott’s Millenium Hall values the disabled, this article argues that the novel’s treatment of disability cannot be separated from its treatment of gender and old age. Operating at the nexus of disability studies and aging studies, this article situates Scott’s novel as a key text in the history of disability. Writing in a century that was fascinated by the vagaries of human aging, Scott radically revises her culture’s principal assumptions about female old age. Whereas other eighteenth-century authors cast female aging as a process of undesirable deformation, Scott suggests that old age and disability benefit her heroines by bringing them into contact with the timeless realm of the divine. The novel therefore enriches our understanding of disability in the eighteenth century and beyond, demonstrating the powerful ways in which disability, gender, and temporality intersect.

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
