"Kenneth Burke" is an introduction to a major 20th-century thinker
whose ideas have influenced a wide range of diciplines including
literary theory, philosophy, politics and anthropology. The study
focuses on the centre point in Burke's thought - found in his
pre-occupation with the relationship between between language,
ideology and action. Stephen Bygrave traces Burke's "rhetorical
strategies" and argues that they form a bridge between "action" and
"symbolic action". By considering Burke as a reader and writer of
narratives and systems, he examines the inadequacies of earlier
readings of Burke and enfolds Burke's thought within current
debates on cultural theory. The book offers a different way of
reading Burke's work, as well as introducing students of literature
and cultural studies to the range of his ideas.
