BL. W. B. Yeats

140. Furukawa, Hisashi. ‘Yeats to nô’ (Yeats and the nô). Nippon Yeats kyôkai kaihô 3 (1968): 3-4.

Traces in general terms the transmission of nô texts to Yeats via Fenollosa and Pound—and emphasising Hirata’s importance (see also 109 and D10d)—and Yeats’s fascination with the combination of poetry, music, and dance, and subsequent incorporation of both the nô and the kyôgen in his drama. See Furukawa’s earlier work (109) for fuller treatment of the subjects outlined here.
