劉易斯的作品和文化批評思想對加拿大現代主義文學、文藝乃至文化的發展,發揮了無人能比的影響。他所影響和激發的幾代加拿大文學家、藝術家和文化批評家,成為加拿大現代主義的主力軍。《反轟炸加拿大》通過挖掘近年對外公開的檔案資料,包括未出版的書信、日記、手稿等,展現了劉易斯、麥克盧漢、希拉·沃特森和威爾弗雷德·沃特森這四位加拿大文學文化大師之間有趣而富有成效的學術互動,勾勒出一部現代主義文學、藝術和文化的傳承簡史。然而,加拿大學者意欲構建獨立的文化身份,似乎仍任重道遠。

Wyndham Lewis’ s works and cultural criticism have an unmatchable influence upon the development of Canadian modernist literature, arts and culture. Generations of Canadian writers, artists and cultural critics he inspired and impacted have now become the backbone of Canadian modernism. Digging up from archives newly open to the public, including unpublished letters, journals and manuscripts, etc., Counter-Blasting Canada: Marshall McLuhan, Wyndham Lewis, Wilfred Watson and Sheila Watson demonstrates interesting and fruitful intellectual interactions among Wyndham Lewis, Marshall McLuhan, Wilfred Watson and Sheila Watson, producing a simplified history of inheritance in the field of modernist literature, arts and culture. However, it still seems to be a long-term and arduous task for Canadian academics to form their own independent cultural identity.
