Previously unpublished writings by and about Kenneth Burke plus essays by such Burkean luminaries as Wayne C. Booth, William H. Rueckert, Robert Wess, Thomas Carmichael, and Michael Feehan make the publication of Unending Conversations a significant event in the field of Burke studies and in the wider field of literary criticism and theory.
Â
Editors Greig Henderson and David Cratis Williams have divided their material into three parts: ÂDialectics of Expression, Communication, and Transcendence,â ÂCriticism, Symbolicity, and Tropology,â and ÂTranscendence and the Theological Motive.â
Â
In the first part, Williamsâs textual introduction and Rueckertâs essay analyze the genesis and composition of Burkeâs A Symbolic of Motives and Poetics, Dramatistically Considered. Henderson opens part two by showing how these two essaysâ concerns with literary form hearken back to Burkeâs first book of criticism, Counter-Statement.
Â
Thomas Carmichael discusses Burkeâs relationship to thinkers such as Paul de Man, Jacques Derrida, Stanley Fish, Fredric Jameson, Jean-François Lyotard, and Richard Rorty. Wess analyzes the relation between Burkeâs dramatistic pentad of act, agent, scene, agency, and purpose and his four master tropesÂmetaphor, metonymy, synecdoche, and irony.
Â
In the third part, Booth mines his unpublished correspondence with Burke to demonstrate that Burke is a coy theologian. Michael Feehan discusses Burkeâs revelation in a 1983 interview that rather than rebounding from a naive kind of Marxism in Permanence and Change, he was rebounding from what he had Âlearned as a Christian Scientist.â
