Pennsylvania State University Press Kenneth Burkes Weed Garden Refiguring the Mythic
Book SynopsisReconstructs Kenneth Burke’s drafting and revision process for A Rhetoric of Motives and The War of Words, placing Burke’s work in historical context and revealing his reliance on the concept of myth.Trade Review“To Burke scholarship, Kenneth Burke’s Weed Garden contributes an original, persuasive answer to questions about the coherence of A Rhetoric of Motives and of Burke’s whole philosophy of symbolic action. To rhetorical studies generally, it rigorously demonstrates the usefulness of genetic rhetorical criticism in understanding a specific text of rhetorical theory and masterfully illustrates the value of mythic images in interpreting rhetorical texts and contexts. For historically oriented cultural studies, it provides an extremely strong case for the major contribution rhetorical theory and analysis can make, especially when it combines scrupulous, detailed archival work with sophisticated, interdisciplinary theoretical speculation.”—Steven Mailloux,author of Rhetoric’s Pragmatism: Essays in Rhetorical Hermeneutics“Scholars interested in Burke studies will find this compelling book immensely valuable and provocative. Kyle Jensen offers a thorough reading of Burke’s archival and primary materials and his analyses will nuance and clarify understandings of rhetorical concepts such as myth.”—Jessica Enoch,author of Domestic Occupations: Spatial Rhetorics and Women's Work

Pennsylvania State University Press Responding to the Sacred An Inquiry into the
Book SynopsisA collection of essays examining the extent to which rhetoric’s relation to the sacred is one of ineffability and how our response to the sacred integrates the divine (or the altogether other) into the human order.Trade Review“Responding to the Sacred provides a capacious and prismatic view of communicating that which is not fully communicable, and in doing so, it ventures to rhetoric’s very edges—and beyond.”—Debra Hawhee,author of Rhetoric in Tooth and Claw: Animals, Language, Sensation“Each chapter of the book stands out on its own in delving deep into specific themes, while at the same time speaking to the other chapters and the introduction in a holistic manner. Here Bernard-Donals and Jensen’s editorial finesse shows—they weave one narrative while pausing at proper intervals to make space for variegated portals.”—Ankana Das Reading Religion

University of California Press The War of Words
Book SynopsisWhen Kenneth Burke conceived his celebrated Motivorum project in the 1940s and 1950s, he envisioned it in three parts. Whereas the third part, A Symbolic of Motives, was never finished, A Grammar of Motives (1945) and A Rhetoric of Motives (1950) have become canonical theoretical documents. A Rhetoric of Motives was originally intended to be a two-part book. Here, at last, is the second volume, the until-now unpublished War of Words, where Burke brilliantly exposes the rhetorical devices that sponsor war in the name of peace. Discouraging militarism during the Cold War even as it catalogues belligerent persuasive strategies and tactics that remain in use today, The War of Words reveals how popular news media outlets can, wittingly or not, foment international tensions and armaments during tumultuous political periods. This authoritative edition includes an introduction from the editors explaining the compositional history and cultural contexts of both The War of Words and A Rhetoric of Motives. The War of Words illuminates the study of modern rhetoric even as it deepens our understanding of postWorld War II politics. Trade Review"The three coeditors of this posthumous publication—Anthony Burke, Kyle Jensen, and Jack Selzer—have done a commendable job assembling this material, which efforts they narrate fully in their valuable introduction. . . . [The War on Words is a] revealing remnant of Burke’s dissertation on motives, a companion volume to his Rhetoric. It is neither a sequel nor a prequel nor a detour nor a summary; it is something more essential." * European Legacy *"The volume provides Burke’s fascinating, mid-career reflections upon his intellectual trajectory. . . .[the editors’] efforts have done scholars a tremendous service." * American Literary History *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Editors’ Introduction THE WAR OF WORDS Introduction 1.
