Show detail Hide detail

Series consists of records which documents the friendship between Archibald Malloch and Marshall McLuhan which formed while he studied under McLuhan as a graduate student at the University of Toronto. It comprises forty-six letters from McLuhan to Malloch, four letters from Malloch to McLuhan, a review of McLuhan's books by Malloch, and issues of McLuhan's early mimeographed occasional publications "Network" and "Media Log". The correspondence largely predates McLuhan's rise to prominence in the 1960s and provides a glimpse of his thought during the period that he was working on "The Mechanical Bride" and "The Gutenberg Galaxy". His letters discuss the philosophy of Jacques Maritain and Stéphane Mallarmé; the writing of T. S. Eliot and James Joyce; McLuhan's conversion to Catholicism; trends in communications; misadventures while sailing; the work of Northrop Frye; the effect of print culture on human habits of learning and attention; and other subjects of interest to them.
