Notes toward editing L.M. Montgomery's The Blythes are Quoted
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In 'The Blythes Are Quoted', a manuscript completed likely within the last two years of L. M. Montgomery's life with the aim of expanding her bestselling 'Anne of Green Gables' series, Montgomery chooses to broach such social concerns as adultery, illegitimacy, hatred, spousal abuse, revenge, melancholia, misogyny, murder, aging, and death. These "adult" themes do not resonate as typical for her body of work, yet because her strategy differs from the larger themes of Canadian modernism, her text eludes pressures of categorization. This thesis involved creating a corrected, annotated, and publishable copy of this manuscript based on two original typescripts housed at the University of Guelph archives; the textual editing of these manuscripts is coupled with a detailed critical introduction, textual notes, and exhaustive archival bibliographies, all of which help place the text within its historical, biographical, and critical contexts.
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.

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.
