Fact, Fiction, and the Tradition of Historical Narratives in Nineteenth-Century Canadian Children's Literature
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Resume: Imbu de sa souverainete nouvellement acquise, le Canada anglais a utilise, vers la fin du dix-neuvieme siecle, la litterature pour la jeunesse comme un outil privilegie, afin de developper son identite nationale et de susciter l'adhesion des jeunes a ses valeurs culturelles. L'attention des auteurs s'est particulierement portee sur la production des œuvres a caractere historique, dont l'etude fait ressortir l'existence de tensions ideologiques et politiques au tournant du vingtieme siecle. Summary: During the late nineteenth century, as Canada came to terms with its new role as an independent nation, attempts were made to strengthen a sense of Canadian national pride and identity. In English-speaking Canada, children's literature was regarded as a means through which a strong identification with the new confederation could be achieved in the nation's youth. Writers were beginning to examine the events of Canada's past through historical textbooks, poems, songs, and novels. A study of these historical narratives for children reveals some of the ideological tensions that existed within Canada at the dawn of the twentieth century.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
