Wicked Traders, Deserving Peddlers, and Virtuous Smugglers: The Counter-Economy of Jane Barker's Jacobite Novel
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A manuscript-circulated coterie poetess, then a (long-forgotten) pioneer in the rise of the English novel, Jacobite author Jane Barker witnessed with distrust and distaste the rise of businessmen and tradespeople in early eighteenth-century British society. Standing at the crossroads between the two worlds and world-pictures of the Jacobite court at Saint-Germain-en-Laye and Hanoverian Britain, deeply concerned with, and personally affected by, the material difficulties of the daily survival of Jacobite partisans, she simultaneously expressed and fostered the uneasiness of the men and women of the landed gentry faced with the change from a status- to a class-based society in her later novels. To this end, she created a variety of sharply delineated, often contradictory “trading” figures vested with symbolic and political significance. Halfway between observation and allegorization, novelistic characterization provided Barker with a way to negotiate a difficult adaptation to the unsparing historical necessity—the dual political and economic revolution—which had upset both her status as a poet of the elite and the political and religious order to which she still adhered.

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.
