In this previously unpublished work, a young Marshall McLuhan, as cultural historian, illuminates the com-

plexities of the classical trivium, provides the first ever close reading of the enigmatic Elizabethan writer

Thomas Nashe, and implicitly challenges the reader to accept a new blueprint for literary education. Ideas

that would ground McLuhan's media analysis of the 1960s and 70s are here in embryo, as he sets out in

scrupulous detail the role of grammar (interpretation), dialectic, and rhetoric in classical learning. Under

McLuhan's scholarly microscope, the internal dynamics of the trivium and its purpose are revealed, as is

its indispensable role in giving full due to the rich prose of Thomas Nashe. In ranging over literature from

Cicero to the sixteenth century, McLuhan discovers the source and significance of multiple traditions in

Nashe's writings.
