Abstract
Quebec poet and historian Francois-Xavier Garneau's occasional poem A Lord (1838) shows how poetry can tacitly draw on theories of the aesthetic state. Garneau's poem uses them to articulate the challenges facing Canadiens immediately before and after Lord Durham completed his influential Report on the Affairs of British North America (1839) . Public poetry, when taken seriously, can help us understand how English capital and the English language were both welcomed and resisted by an emergent class of francophone artists and intellectuals. The social theories of Walter Benjamin, Mathew Arnold, Niklas Luhmann, and Jacques Ranciere help explain how Garneau's poem engages poetical and aesthetic theory, poetic practice, and the writing of Quebecois history in the mid-nineteenth century.

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 it
