A dictionary of Marshall McLuhan’s quotations

…the printed book made possible much subdivision and partitioning of subjects that had previously been included in the major disciplines. Grammatica included all that we now associate with cultural history and the New Criticism. Dialectica embraced the whole range of scientific theory and classification. Rhetorica involved the arts of wisdom and eloquence extended to all fields.
