Modified Victorian Era Authorship Attribution Dataset

About

This data set is a modified version of the one that can be found here.

The difference being that the training dataset was split into two parts: 80% training, 20% testing with labels. Splitting was done with a random stratified sample approach. This is different than the source dataset which did not have any labels for the testing data.

Additionally, all text has been converted to UTF-8 format and any errors were ignored.

The original testing data is not included with this release.
