Description
Introduction KENNETH BURKE WAS THE INITIATOR AND CODIFIER of many great critical ideas of the twentieth century. Although Burke's religious faith, or lack of it, is less readily obvious than Williams's, he made religious terminology central to much of his writing and criticism. As I read Kenneth Burke's critical works, I wondered how his ideas, which are tolerant of if not sympathetic toward Christianity, would aid in reading a poet who was unashamedly Christian. In this paper I hope to answer two main questions. First, can Burke's central ideas, which he himself used in short critical vignettes, be productive when used as a critical method, especially with a Christian poet? And second, will the poetry of Charles Williams yield new insights if subjected to a Burkean reading?
