Abstract
Fanny Forrester (1852–89) was a dye worker and poet who lived in Salford, near Manchester. As a house poet of the popular working-class periodical Ben Brierley's Journal between 1868 and 1882, Forrester addressed a wide regional audience, which enabled her to redefine the imaginative possibilities of the working-class pastoral poem. This essay illustrates how her newspaper poetry referenced the social tensions surrounding representations of working-class women. By writing urban pastorals, Forrester demonstrated how factory women could be integrated into a conservative, masculine poetic genre.

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
