Abstract
The article critiques major debates in Canadian modernist criticism and assesses their impact on readerships in the present time of anti-elitism, resurgent nationalisms, and widening distrust of expertise. Feminist critics articulate women writers' conflictual relations to the modernist canon and have restored or introduced disregarded female poets to an academic readership. Commentators on ‘antimodernism’ defend traditional writers of the period against modernist ridicule and suggest an antimodernist nostalgia for indigenous national authenticity within modernist writing itself. Leftist critics emphasize the political radicalism of major Canadian modernist writers as well as promoting and editing little-known authors who share their politics. Theorists critique the editorial practices of the field and promote genetic editing and digital publishing. Three less prominent trends are likelier to provoke and keep new readers for Canadian modernism: philosophically and ethically driven criticism; renewed attentiveness to cosmopolitanism in Canadian modernist discourse; and candid engagement with the problem of Canadian modernism's derivation from modernisms elsewhere.

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.
