Abstract
A supporter of both imperialist ideals and feminist struggles, Canadian journalist and author Sara Jeannette Duncan was the epitome of the strong colonial woman who is sometimes parodied, often admired, in late Victorian British writing. But Duncan did not limit her political involvement to Canadian soil nor Canadian issues. Married to an Englishman resident in India, she turned her journalistic pen to Indian topics, another side of the imperialist coin, while remaining ever aware of happenings in her native country and constantly reminded by her social environment that she was indeed both colonial and expatriate. Duncan's Indian political novels – His Honour, and a Lady (1895), Set in Authority (1906), and The Burnt Offering (1909) – are particularly interesting in their melding of political, social, and moral attitudes inherent in Anglo-Indian society. In contrast to the gleaming imperialist ideals and the sullied morals portrayed in many of Kipling's popular stories, Duncan's lesser-known works show the complexities of the society which became her own. This article investigates Duncan's Indian political novels along side the Canadian political novel for which she is most well known, The Imperialist (1904), establishing a clear portrait of Duncan's changing view of the Imperialist ideal.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
