Kenneth Burke (1897-1993) is a major American literary theorist who attended Ohio State University for a semester before moving to Columbia University; however, he left college to pursue writing. He was influenced by Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud, and Friedrich Nietzsche but did not explicitly follow any particular school of thought. Burke defined humankind as a "symbol using animal."
