I just finished reading a book that, had it been published in 2003 or 2004, would have transformed my doctoral thesis so completely that I am absolutely gobsmacked to think of it. McLuhan is famous for other kinds of work, but this (his hitherto unpublished Cambridge dissertation) is a testament to the rigor of his intelligence.
I mourn the fact that I haven’t read it until now.
On the other hand, I am gratified that, although we approached the topic from different directions and with different levels of erudition, we arrived at the same conclusions regarding Mr Nashe.
