Background: Kenneth Duva Burke (May 5, 1897 - November 19, 1993) was an American literary theorist, as well as poet, essayist, and novelist, who wrote on 20th-century philosophy, aesthetics, criticism, and rhetorical theory. As a literary theorist, Burke was best known for his analyses based on the nature of knowledge. Furthermore, he was one of the first individuals to stray away from more traditional rhetoric and view literature as "symbolic action." Burke was unorthodox, concerning himself not only with literary texts, but with the elements of the text that interacted with the audience: social, historical, political background, author biography, etc.
Context: He was born on May 5 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and graduated from Peabody High School, where his friend Malcolm Cowley was also a student. While he attended Ohio State University to pursue courses in French, German, Greek, and Latin, he later dropped out to move closer to New York City where he enrolled at Columbia University. During his time there, he was a member of the Boar's Head Society. Due to the constraining learning environment, however, Burke also left Columbia, never receiving a college diploma. In Greenwich Village he kept company with avant-garde writers such as Hart Crane, Malcolm Cowley, Gorham Munson, and later Allen Tate. Raised by a Christian Science mother, Burke later became an avowed agnostic.  In 1919, he married Lily Mary Batterham, with whom he had three daughters: the late feminist, Marxist anthropologist Eleanor Leacock (1922-1987); musician (Jeanne) Elspeth Chapin Hart (b. 1920); and writer and poet France Burke (b. ~1925). He would later marry her sister Elizabeth Batterham in 1933 and have two sons, Michael and Anthony. Burke served as the editor of the modernist literary magazine The Dial in 1923, and as its music critic from 1927-1929. Kenneth himself was an avid player of the piano. He received the Dial Award in 1928 for distinguished service to American literature. He was the music critic of The Nation from 1934-1936, and was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1935.  His work on criticism was a driving force for placing him back into the university spotlight. As a result, he was able to teach and lecture at various colleges, including Bennington College, while continuing his literary work. Many of Kenneth Burke's personal papers and correspondence are housed at Pennsylvania State University's Special Collections Library. However, despite his stint lecturing at Universities, Burke was an autodidact and a self-taught scholar.  In later life, his New Jersey farm was a popular summer retreat for his extended family, as reported by his grandson Harry Chapin, a contemporary popular song artist. He died of heart failure at his home in Andover, New Jersey. CANNOTANSWER

Bakgrund: Kenneth Duva Burke (5 maj 1897 - 19 november 1993) var en amerikansk litteraturteoretiker, samt poet, essäist och romanförfattare, som skrev om 1900-talsfilosofi, estetik, kritik och retorisk teori. Som litterär teoretiker var Burke mest känd för sina analyser utifrån kunskapens natur. Vidare var han en av de första individerna att avvika från mer traditionell retorik och betrakta litteraturen som "symbolisk handling". Burke var oortodox, och brydde sig inte bara om litterära texter, utan om de inslag i texten som interagerade med publiken: social, historisk, politisk bakgrund, författarbiografi m.m. Sammanhang: Han föddes den 5 maj i Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania och tog examen från Peabody High School, där även hans vän Malcolm Cowley var elev. Medan han gick på Ohio State University för att gå kurser i franska, tyska, grekiska och latin hoppade han senare av för att flytta närmare New York City där han skrev in sig vid Columbia University. Under sin tid där var han ledamot av Boars huvudsällskap. Men på grund av den begränsande inlärningsmiljön lämnade Burke också Columbia och fick aldrig något collegediplom. I Greenwich Village höll han sällskap med avantgardistiska författare som Hart Crane, Malcolm Cowley, Gorham Munson, och senare Allen Tate. Uppfostrad av en mor inom kristen vetenskap blev Burke senare agnostiker. År 1919 gifte han sig med Lily Mary Batterham, med vilken han fick tre döttrar: den framlidne feministen, marxistiske antropologen Eleanor Leacock (1922–1987); musikern (Jeanne) Elspeth Chapin Hart (f. 1920); samt författare och poet France Burke (f. 1925). Han skulle senare gifta sig med hennes syster Elizabeth Batterham 1933 och få två söner, Michael och Anthony. Burke tjänstgjorde som redaktör för den modernistiska litterära tidskriften The Dial 1923, och som dess musikkritiker åren 1927-1929. Kenneth själv var en ivrig pianospelare. Han erhöll Dial Award 1928 för framstående tjänst åt amerikansk litteratur. Han var musikkritiker av The Nation från 1934-1936, och tilldelades ett Guggenheim Fellowship 1935. Hans arbete med kritik var en drivande kraft för att placera honom tillbaka i universitetsljuset. Detta ledde till att han kunde undervisa och föreläsa vid olika högskolor, bland annat vid Bennington College, samtidigt som han fortsatte sitt litterära arbete. Många av Kenneth Burkes personliga papper och korrespondens är inhysta på Pennsylvania State Universitys Special Collections Library. Trots sin stinkande föreläsande vid universiteten var Burke dock autodidakt och självlärd forskare. Senare i livet var hans gård i New Jersey en populär sommarretreat för sin utökade familj, vilket rapporterades av hans sonson Harry Chapin, en samtida populär sångartist. Han dog av hjärtsvikt i sitt hem i Andover, New Jersey. CANNOTANSWER Fråga: Vilka var hans föräldrar?. Vad är svaret?
