Here & Elsewhere(1st Edition) The Collected Fiction of KennethBurke by KennethBurke, Professor Denis Donoghue Paperback, 416 Pages, Published 2005 by David R. Godine Publisher ISBN-13: 978-1-57423-201-1, ISBN: 1-57423-201-0
"The stories of Kenneth Burke (1897–1993) were unlike any other fiction of the 1920s. Not for him the stripped-down language of Hemingway or the topical satire of Fitzgerald; instead he constructed rhetorically gorgeous essay-stories that anticipated (by 40 years) the narrative techniques of Calvino, Gass, and Nicholson Baker. Here & Elsewhere gathers, for the first time, all of Burke's fiction: 23 short stories and Towards a Better Life ..."

Language As Symbolic Action(Updated) Essays on Life, Literature, and Method by KennethBurke Paperback, 532 Pages, Published 1968 by University Of California Press ISBN-13: 978-0-520-00192-3, ISBN: 0-520-00192-3
""It is in his aspect as a literary critic that I find Burke most congenial. He is simply the finest literary critic in the world, and perhaps the finest since Coleridge... Like the only living critic comparable, I. A. Richards, Burke manages to combine his Aristotelian concern for structure with a Coleridgean concern for texture: the imaginative process, the tension of opposites, the language of poetry... Burke's thoroughness is fantast ..."

"Kenneth Burke continued to write poetry after the 1968 publication of his Collected Poems, but until now the poetry from the last quarter century of his life has remained largely unpublished, hiding in the mass of papers at his farmhouse in Andover, New Jersey. Suggesting that the Burke canon is not complete without these works, Julie Whitaker and David Blakesley here assemble the poems that the celebrated critic wrote between 1968 and ..."

""But the point of Burke's work, and the significance of his achievement, is not that he points out that religion and language affect each other, for this has been said before, but that he proceeds to "demonstrate" how this is so by reference to a specific symbolic context. After a discussion 'On Words and The Word, ' he analysess verbal action in St. Augustine's "Confessions." He then discusses the first three chapters of Genesis, and e ..."
Counter-Statement(Updated) by KennethBurke Paperback, 244 Pages, Published 1968 by University Of California Press ISBN-13: 978-0-520-00196-1, ISBN: 0-520-00196-6
"A valuable feature of the second edition (1953) of Counter-Statement was the Curriculum Criticum in which the author placed the book in terms of his later work. For this new paperback edition, Mr. Burke continues his "curve of development" in an Addendum which surveys the course of his though in subsequent books (up to the publication of his Collected Poems, 1915 - 1967) and work-in-progress."
"Joe Lando (Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman) stars as a city engineer Scott Daniels, whose hometown is being rocked by mysterious explosions. A power struggle with the corrupt fire chief and a scheming oilman (Family Ties star Michael Gross) puts the town and Scott's family in danger."
