Bibliographic record
Abstract
This book collects the essays of six scholars of modern, anglophone authors with the goal of bringing together the material artefacts created by Virginia and Leonard Woolf's Hogarth Press, previously dispersed among libraries and archives in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.The work's eight chapters examine a variety of themes, including pedagogy, modernism, collaboration, and a behind-the-scenes view of a new international collaborative digital project called The Modernist Archives Publishing Project (MAPP), exploring the building of a digital archive, the advantages of a team-driven approach, and the use of digital humanities in the classroom.A recurring theme among the essays is the recent debate between yack and hack, that is the tension between theorizing about DH work and rolling up one's sleeves and doing it.The position among these studies would seem to be that a general dismay over excessive theory has often led to a more practical hands-on approach in the field.The essays take on the task of reframing the debate to rethink its implications.Certainly some DH practitioners support a less theoretical approach and categorize the work behind a digital edition or archive as either designing or theorizing and are uncompromising in their labeling of these two approaches.However, Scholarly Adventures demonstrates that a good final result in a digital project relies on both hack and yack.The first chapter introduces a retrospective on modernism and book history, and every chapter revisits essential elements in Woolf studies.However, the reader looking for specifics in Woolf studies might be disappointed; the most successful parts of this book relate to methods, ideas, and the process of constructing a digital archive.The book concludes that DH is not a new medium used to represent old ideas.Apart from addressing and solving past issues, this new platform for media of all kinds also presents new challenges.One of MAPP's aims is to redefine the concept of books, no longer considering them simply as objects but also as events "historically charged of a complex and dynamic literary, social and intellectual world" (27).Fundamentally, a digital edition can contain far more information, such as materials related to the working pro-

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.
