Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Bunyan had a profound if largely accidental influence on English children’s literature. He wrote a collection of poems for children, but it was The Pilgrim’s Progress (1678; 1684) that became a staple of the nursery shelf, adopted by children who seem to have read it more for the adventure than for the theology. Editions aimed specifically for that audience followed, and these often radically adapted Bunyan’s language, theology, and subject matter. So ubiquitous was The Pilgrim’s Progress that children’s writers such as Louisa May Alcott, Francis Hodgson Burnett, and L. M. Montgomery could assume that their readers would know Bunyan’s allegory and so could use it as a significant subtext for their own novels. While the variety and number of books for children in the twentieth century means that The Pilgrim’s Progress was read less often, there are still many versions for young readers, including pop-up books and graphic novels.

Not 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.
