Bibliographic record
Abstract
In Imagining Women’s Property in Victorian Fiction, Jill Rappoport offers a compelling reconsideration of the way Victorian fiction engaged with the significant legal reforms to married women’s property that occurred between 1856 and 1882. Rappoport persuasively argues that, whereas these reforms have typically been viewed in terms of their effects on married women, the fiction of this period explored their far broader implications both for notions of ownership and for a wider network of familial relations. Across its five chapters, the book develops nuanced analyses of Charles Dickens’s Our Mutual Friend (1864–1865), Elizabeth Gaskell’s Wives and Daughters (1866), novels by Anthony Trollope (late 1860s, 1870s), George Eliot’s Daniel Deronda (1876), and Margaret Oliphant’s Hester (1883), and discusses many other novels of the period. Rappoport demonstrates how these novels grappled with the reforms’ far-reaching and often unsettling ramifications for traditional models of property and family, as well as for women’s economic agency, while also developing alternative, extra-legal models.

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.
