The thesis presents an historical survey of Brecht's poetry; close critical analysis of individual texts, including many not previously discussed, provides the basis for wider generalisation which enables the construction of a comprehensive study. Paraphrase, the explicit formulation of suggested readings, is the fundamental method of analysis. Reference to the historical dimension, and careful attention to Brecht's use of the ironic mode operate as controls. The thesis is divided chronologically into six chapters.

This thesis contains a machine-readable edition of the text of the Speculum Vitae as attested in British Library MS. Additional 33995, with introduction and glossary. Claims for the possible common authorship of the Prick of Conscience and the Speculum Vitae are investigated firstly by Positional Stylometry, which provides no useful information. Many lines in the two poems are found to be similar, but a study of the similar lines casts doubt on their significance as an indication of common authorship. The study of similar lines leads to an attempt to define and isolate formulas. Differences between the poems are found in the use of formulas. Finally, the metre of the poems is examined and found to be more regular than previously supposed. Differences are shown in the metrical qualities of the poems. Although it cannot be shown conclusively that the Prick of Conscience and the Speculum Vitae are by two different authors, the arguments for common authorship are shown to be groundless.

At the end of Permanence and Change, Kenneth Burke calls for a new orientation toward life and social action which he refers to as “the poetic metaphor” (261). This essay connects Burke's briefly used poetic metaphor with his theories on the use of “poetic” language in the essay “Semantic and Poetic Meaning.” What results from this synthesis is a critical tool for rhetorical analysis which allows for the discussion of style as a vehicle for communication about ethics and morals in public discourse. Obama's The Audacity of Hope is used as the example of a text which uses “poetic” language in order to discuss moral and ethical issues in a national arena. Obama ultimately dramatizes his own synthesis of values, putting himself in the position of a trusted intermediary. This analysis provides clarity on Burke's thinking at the end of Permanence and Change and helps us understand his contribution to the study of rhetoric and cooperation.
