"A choke of emotion, a great heart-leap": English-Canadian Tourists in Britain, 1880s-1914
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Many English-Canadian travellers to Britain at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century arrived with preconceived notions of themselves as “Canadians” and as members of the British Empire, as well as of the historical and cultural landscapes through which they would move. While their diaries and letters are strikingly similar in terms of places seen and attractions experienced, this repetition did not preclude some revisioning, or at least questioning, of the well-known script. They encountered, and to varying degrees were performers in, some of the more obviously staged dramas of imperialism in late Victorian and Edwardian Britain. Coronation celebrations, Victoria’s Golden and Diamond Jubilees, royal funerals, and imperial and colonial exhibitions enabled tourists to reflect on their own Canadian identity as well as their relationship to the imperial centre and to other members of the Empire. Also, while English-Canadian men and women shared many similar experiences as colonial tourists, their participation in and reactions to these presentations of empire and history demonstrate the importance of gender in how meaning is shaped.

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.
