MCLUHAN MARSHALL: (1911-1980) Canadian Philosopher & Intellectual who coined the terms 'global village' and 'surfing' and also predicted the World Wide Web almost thirty years before it was invented. A.L.S., Marshall McLuhan, one page, 4to (onion skin notepaper), Toronto, 24th February 1963, to [Neville] Braybrooke. McLuhan announces 'It was a happy inspiration that made you send me The Idler!' and continues 'I have read it with much enjoyment and shall now seek out your other writings. As a devoted student of T. S. Eliot I had of course read your volume for his 70th birthday'. The philosopher further informs Braybrooke that 'Frank Kermode has written me to say that he has suggested to the editors of Encounter that they start a debate in a series of articles concerning the themes of the Galaxy' and asks if he would like to participate, adding 'Roland Penrose of the Institute of Contemporary Arts has written to say that the Galaxy has given them the idea for a 1965 show on the Extensions of Man: Technologies seen as extensions of our organic being, having immediate as well as persistent psychic and social effects. Thus electromagnetic technologies are extensions of our central nervous systems as much as others of our bodies. i.e. E.S.P.' McLuhan concludes by stating that he hopes to come to England in the summer to discuss the matter with Penrose, 'and it would be a great disappointment if you were not there at the same time'. A letter of good content, not least for its references to two of McLuhan's most famous works. Some light overall creasing, about VG Neville Braybrooke (1923-2001) English Poet, Writer, Editor, Literary Critic and Publisher. The Gutenberg Galaxy: The Making of Typographic Man (1962) is a pioneering study in the fields of oral culture, print culture, cultural studies and media ecology in which McLuhan prophesised the web technology experienced today when he stated 'The next medium, whatever it is-it may be the extension of consciousness-will include television as its content, not as its environment, and will transform television into an art form. A computer as a research and communication instrument could enhance retrieval, obsolesce mass library organization, retrieve the individual's encyclopaedic function and flip into a private line to speedily tailored data of a saleable kind'. Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man (1964) is a more widely known work by McLuhan and is regarded as a pioneering study in media theory. Dismayed by the way people approached and used new media such as television, McLuhan famously argued that in the modern world 'we live mythically and integrally ... but continue to think in the old, fragmented space and time patterns of the pre-electric age'.
