Reviews for Unending Conversations: New Writings by and about Kenneth Burke (Rhetorical Philosophy and Theory)
[Unending Conversations] makes two very important contributions. It makes available to scholars previously unpublished portions of Burke's work toward the long-anticipated but never completed volume, A Symbolic of Motives, and another late, uncompleted project, Poetics, Dramatistically Considered. It also provides a rich scholarly context for these materials.-Miriam Marty Clark, Auburn University
