Permanence and Change was written and first published in the depths
of the Great Depression. Attitudes Toward History followed it two
years later. These were revolutionary texts in the theory of
communication, and, as classics, they retain their surcharge of
energy. Permanence and Change treats human communication in terms
of ideal cooperation, whereas Attitudes Towards History
characterizes tactics and patterns of conflict typical of actual
human associations. It is in Permanence and Change that Burke
establishes in path-breaking fashion that form permeates society
just as it does poetry and the arts. Hence, his master idea that
forms of art are not exclusively aesthetic: the cycles of a storm,
the gradations of a sunrise, the stages of an epidemic, the undoing
of Prince Hamlet are all instances of progressive form. This new
edition of Permanence and Change reprints Hugh Dalziel Duncan's
long sociological introduction and includes a substantial new
afterward in which Burke reexamines his early ideas in light of
subsequent developments in his own thinking and in social theory.
