Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The rapid increase in the production of Gothic fiction in the 1790s and beyond is one of the more remarkable but also one of the less well understood phenomena of the British Romantic period. Before this, only a handful of novels in the genre had been produced, and readers and critics paid them little attention. Yet from 1800 onwards some 20–30 titles a year were being published, and the influence of the genre is readily apparent in the literary journals and in the writings of the Romantic poets. It is also an influence that persists long after its immediate efflorescence is over in the 1820s, extending into canonical works by authors such as Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, the Brontes and Henry James. This sudden rise of the Gothic is only the first of several intriguing issues involved in studying this genre.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
