Publication Date: March 29, 1996| ISBN-10: 0521422582 | ISBN-13: 978-0521422581Kenneth Burke's influence ranged across history, philosophy and the social sciences. This important study examines Burke's influence on contemporary theories of rhetoric and the subject, and explains why Burke failed to complete his Motives trilogy.
