	Kenneth Burke Criticism
		Since the publication of A Grammar of Motives in 1945 Kenneth Burke has become firmly lodged in the consciousness of an influential group of American writers as a critic almost exquisitely rare, abounding with ideas and enviably in control of the wide range of new knowledge that characterizes the present century.

		Burke has produced a body of literary and social criticism second only to that of Edmund Wilson, yet it has not "added up." He has been less careful of his audience than Wilson, more interested in the permutation of his ideas, more self-indulgent and obsessive in his concerns.

	Saving Pluralism from Itself: Peter Elbow, Kenneth Burke, and the Idea of Magic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Kenneth Burke's definition of rhetorical action as hortation or yearning undergoes the test of Burke's application of heuristics drawn from linguistics, sociology, and the study of symbols.
		Burke himself admits to having taken up the subject "with a bad conscience" in the past, when he did not believe that magic was germane to the study of literature.
		Burke of all people is suspicious of posturings and delusions; but here he adverts to the vocabulary of magical action to explain the power of garb to induce valued, plausible changes as well as fraudulent ones--changes that have tended to elude conventional, contemporary explanation.

		Burke assumes we not only experience separateness but are goaded by the spirit of order and hierarchy and feel guilty about the differences between ourselves and others (who occupy different positions in the social hierarchy) and about our inevitable failure to always support order, authority and hierarchy.
		Burke describes the most obvious case of the associating type of persuasion in traditional terms, as a form of explicit design: "a speaker persuades an audience by the use of stylistic identifications; his act of persuasion may be for the purpose of causing the audience to identify itself with the speaker's interests..."

	Kenneth Burke Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		Kenneth Burke (1897-1993) was a literary theorist and critic whose work was influential in several fields of knowledge where symbols are a central focus of study.
		Burke's early interest in poetry, music, and literature soon turned theoretical, and he began to explore the ways in which poetry and criticism could explain human relations in general.
		Burke claimed that a major human invention is the negative, which is what makes symbolic meaning and consequent human society possible, because all notions that something is depend on the implicit claim that it is not something else.

		For Burke, the function of rhetoric is to name or define the nature of situations, so that the recipient of the rhetoric can respond appropriately.
		Burke spoke of the importance of pairing form to meaning, classifying all possible forms into three types: conventional, repetitive and progressive.
		The results of such an analysis may reveal contradictions between what is stated by the rhetor and what is supported with the rhetorical evidence he or she presents.

		Burke's theories are usually classified under the perspective of "Dramatism." Dramatistic theories presuppose that human beings are (un)conscious creators of their social roles.
		Burke goes so far as to state that the symbols we assign to the natural world forever alter our relationship to reality.
		Burke's writings are terribly dense, and he always assumes that the reader has read most of the literature produced in the Western world (not merely the great literature).

	Notes on Kenneth Burke's 'Attitudes Toward History' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Burke's opening quotation from James is not found in his published work but in a note jotted down during the summer of 1869 (at the age of 27), shortly after James concluded his medical studies at Harvard.
		Burke would have seen this note while reading Ralph Barton Perry's The Thought and Character of William James (1935), a book he was reviewing for the new Marxist journal, Science and Society.
		Nevertheless, Burke's source may be a chapter from Book II of Schopenhauer's Parerga und Paralipomena (1851), "Nachträge zur Lehre von der Bejahung und Verneinung des Willens zum Leben" ("Additional Remarks on the Doctrine of the Affirmation and Denial of the Will-to-Live").

	Reading Scripture with Kenneth Burke: Genesis
		Burke’s earliest writings were concerned with the effects writers meant to create in their reading audiences.

		Burke’s method begins with an internal analysis in order to discover the effect the work is meant to have on its author and audience.

		Burke himself, who died in 1993 at the age of 96, has been hailed as America's most brilliant and suggestive critic and the most significant theorist of rhetoric since Cicero.
		Burke also met the iconoclasts of the older generation represented by Theodore Dreiser and H. Mencken, the New Humanists, and the literary nationalists who founded Contact and The New Republic.
		He draws on a wonderfully rich array of letters between Burke and his modernist friends and on the memoirs of his associates to create a vibrant portrait of the young Burke's transformation from aesthete to social critic.

	Kenneth Burke
		Burke, in his essay “Literature as Equipment for living”, breaks down his argument for using literature as a strategy or attitude into 3 steps.
		Proverbs, according to Burke, “are designed for consolation or vengeance, for admonition or exhortation, for foretelling.” He also explains that they “name typical, recurrent situations.” Burke continues by quoting proverbs that apply to consolation, etc.
		Like Burke states that good literature is literature whose strategies/ attitudes towards situations transcends time, Levi-Strauss found that these themes transcended culture and time, speaking directly to the hearts and minds of the people.

	Crusius, Timothy W.: Kenneth Burke and the Conversation After Philosophy
		Throughout much of his long life (18971993), Kenneth Burke was recognized as a leading American intellectual, perhaps the most significant critic writing in English since Coleridge.
		But despite Burke's own claims to be writing philosophy and some notice from reviewers and critics that his work was philosophically significant, Timothy W. Crusius is the first to access his work as philosophy.
		Burke's highly developed notion of our species as the "symbol-using animal," argues Crusius, draws together the various strands of his later philosophy—his concern with interpretation, with dialectic and dialogue, with a praxis devoted to awareness and control of the self-deceiving and potentially self-destructive motives inherent in language itself.

	Kenneth Burke - Black Sparrow Books
		Before he turned to criticism and became, in the words of Daniel Aaron, “our American Coleridge,” Kenneth Burke was a writer of fiction.
		Not for Burke the stripped-down language of Hemingway or the topical social criticism of Fitzgerald; instead he was intent on constructing rhetorically gorgeous essay-stories that anticipated (by forty years) the narrative techniques of Calvino and William H. Gass.
		Burke’s narrators are thinkers, not doers; they lament, rejoice, beseech, admonish, aphorize, and inveigh in the manner of a Greenwich Village Samuel Johnson.

		The book presents Burke's dreamy, ethereal novel, Toward a Better Life (1932 and later revisions), as well as 20 stories that showcase his wild imagination, which can be as frustratingly inaccessible as it is brilliantly luminous, often within the span of a few paragraphs.
		Burke died at age 96 in 1993, clearly the dean of American literary criticism (although his lifelong friend the more journalistic Malcolm Cowley lived nearly as long).
		But to Burke's good fortune, literary studies began to metamorphose in his later years, and his books were reprinted, then eagerly reread, as he found himself viewed, for better or worse, as a founding father of cultural studies.
