[KB] Stanley Cavell, RIP

[David Blakesley]

Hi, Burkelers--

I was sorry to hear of the passing of Stanley Cavell and was reminded of
what he wrote about KB for the *Kenneth Burke on Shakespeare *collection:

As my guides in reading Shakespeare, I name first Kenneth Burke, an
American regarded by various of his fellow citizens as the equal of the
most formidable literary minds of the American twentieth century, who wrote
repeatedly on Shakespeare as well and as consistently as anyone might be
thought to have done. —Stanley Cavell, Walter M. Cabot Professor Emeritus
of Aesthetics and the General Theory of Value Harvard University


Cavell's obituary is in the *New York Times* today:

Best,
Dave
