Kenneth Burke: Rhetoric and Ideology is a lucid and accessible
introduction to a major twentieth-century thinker those ideas have
influenced fields as diverse as literary theory, philosophy,
linguistics, politics and anthropology. Stephen Bygrave explores
the content of Burke's vast output of work, focusing especially on
his preoccupation with the relation between language, ideology and
action.
"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.
Anna Letitia Barbauld: New Perspectives is the first collection of essays on poet and public intellectual Anna Letitia Barbauld (1743-1825). By international scholars of eighteenth-century and Romantic British literature, these new essays survey Barbauld's writing from early to late: her versatility as a stylist, her poetry, her books for children, her political writing, her performance as editor and reviewer. They explore themes of sociability, materiality, and affect in Barbauld's writing, and trace her reception and influence. Rooted in enlightenment philosophy and ethics and dissenting religion, Barbauld's work exerted a huge impact on the generation of Wordsworth and Coleridge, and on education and ideas about childhood far into the nineteenth century. William McCarthy's introduction explores the importance of Barbauld's work today, and co-editor Olivia Murphy assesses the commentary on Barbauld that followed her rediscovery in the early 1990s. Anna Letitia Barbauld: New Perspectives is the indispensible introduction to Barbauld's work and current thinking about it.
