* His 1948 book on the United States as prototype Cosmopolis, America and Cosmic Man, greatly influenced that pioneer exponent of electronic globalism, Marshall McLuhan, whose famous phrase "Global Village" it inspired. Lewis struck sparks in all directions - as novelist, critic, philosopher, poet, sociologist, travel writer, autobiographer and, far from least, as painter with galvanizing styles all his own. The Wyndham Lewis Society has operated for almost 30 years with the aim of making this invigorating and controversial figure more widely known and better understood. It now publishes a mailed journal called the Wyndham Lewis Annual featuring articles, reviews and an ongoing bibliography all generated by the growing scope of Lewis studies. Several times a year there is a posted news roundup known as the Lewisletter. The Society also organizes periodic conferences. For additional information please email us.
