At the time of Marshall McLuhan's death in 1980, his was a major voice in our understanding on media and society. And yet, few analyses of his impact have been written. In clarifying McLuhan, Neill provides a critical, yet sympathetic assessment of McLuhan's work and impact. While the author dismisses McLuhan's basic theory that the medium is the message, he points to McLuhan's importance, and argues for a re-examination of McLuhan as an artist and a poet.
S. D. NEILL was Professor at the School of Library and Information Science, University of Western Ontario. Among his earlier publications is Dilemmas in the Study of Information (Greenwood Press, 1992).
