In this investigation of how his famous communication theories  were influenced by literature and the arts, Lamberti proposes a new approach to  McLuhan’s thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLamberti delves into  McLuhan’s humanism in light of his work on media and culture, exploring how he  began to perceive literature not just as a subject, but a ‘function inseparable  from communal existence.’ Lamberti pays particular attention to the central  role played by Modernism in the making of his theories, including the writings  of Ford Madox Ford, James Joyce, Ezra Pound, and Wyndham Lewis. Reconnecting  McLuhan with his literary past, \u003cem\u003eMarshall McLuhan’s Mosaic\u003c\/em\u003e is a  demonstration of one of his greatest ideas: that literature not only matters,  but can help us understand the hidden patterns that rule our environment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47154601492720,"sku":"9781442661233","price":117.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781442661233_p0.jpg?v=1763807693","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781442661233","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
