Encounters with Kenneth Burke

 William H. Rueckert's landmark   1963 study, Kenneth Burke and the Drama of Human Relations, is often   credited with bringing the field of Burke studies into existence. Here, Rueckert   has gathered his "encounters" with Burke over the past thirty years--brieft   talks, position papers, rethinking and reformation of earlier ideas, and detailed   analyses of individual texts--into one volume that offers readers the best of   Burkean criticism.
