  # fetch all texts from the "British Fiction" source
  allTexts = get.texts()
  interestingTexts = allTexts %>%
    filter(source == 'British Fiction')

  # write to disk in the stylo package format
  # (for the stylo() function, so in directory called "corpus")
  # taking the author as a main category and the title as a subcategory
  write.corpus(interestingTexts, 'author', 'title', 'corpus')

  # write to disk in the stylo package format
  # (for the classify() function, so there are two sets of text in
  #   directories "primary_set" and "secondary_set")
  # taking the author as a main category and the title as a subcategory
  secondarySet = write.corpus(interestingTexts, 'author', 'title', 'primary_set', 0.7)
