Abstract
A notable aspect of the sixteenth-century revolution in English theatrical culture is the rapidly increasing dominance, from the last quarter of the century onwards, of London. With the advent of the commercial playhouses, theatre in the early modern period — previously of largely provincial provenance — became an overwhelmingly metropolitan phenomenon, generated in and focusing increasingly on London rather than the provincial towns and noble households that had been the home of most of the nation’s dramatic output up to this point. There was by no means a total disappearance of provincial theatre. Town troupes continued to exist throughout the country, and itinerant companies continued to play in household and other contexts, but the centre of gravity substantially shifted in a way that would permanently change the focus and ethos of drama. These developments inevitably brought about a change in its subject matter and preoccupations, which showed an increasing awareness from the late sixteenth century onwards of the new commercial theatre’s own urban location and the urban audience that had become its principal constituency. This investigation will be into the various ways in which that fact impacted on the representation and perceptions of the metropolis in the theatre, how this evolved over time, what factors determined this evolution, and how this representation in turn reflected the changing culture of the period. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
