Naples in the Eighteenth Century: The Birth and Death of a Nation State
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This collection of essays analyzes the history of the Neapolitan state during the height of the Enlightenment.Naples was one of many kingdoms across Europe that witnessed a dramatic struggle between philosophes who wished to reinvent society, and traditionalists who sought to preserve the status quo.The strength of this volume lies in its explanation of why, even as it was often a hotbed of new cultural ideas, the Kingdom of Two Sicilies was unable to modernize itself politically and economically.No single culprit exists, but the combination of ecclesiastical resistance, baronial arrogance, popular suspicion, and monarchical incompetence resulted in an ineffective state.The consequences of this failure continue to haunt portions of southern Italy today.For more than two centuries after 1503 Naples was ruled by a Spanish viceroy and was then transferred to Austrian control in 1707.In this volume, all of the authors focus on the period between 1734, when Don Carlos of Bourbon ascended to the throne of a newly-independent monar- chy, and 1799, when the Parthenopean Republic flowered and died within the same year.This volume is the twentieth book in the successful series 'Cambridge Studiesin Italian History and Culture.'The series has contributed to a wider understanding of Italian history by publishing monographs and essay collections that range from the late Middle Ages to the Risorgimento.This collection fits squarely into that tradition by showcasing the work of Italian scholars who might otherwise remain unknown to the English-speaking world.Mostof the authors are estab-

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.
