Hugh Kenner (January 7, 1923 - November 24, 2003), was a Canadian literary scholar, critic and professor. Kenner was born in Peterborough, Ontario on January 7, 1923; his father taught classics. Kenner attributed his interest in literature to his poor hearing, caused by a bout of influenza during his childhood. Attending the University of Toronto, Kenner studied under Marshall McLuhan, who wrote the introduction to Kenner's first book "Paradox in Chesterton". Wikipedia
