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.
