BL. W. B. Yeats

186. Cribb, T. J. Review of The Drama of W. B. Yeats: Irish Myth and the Japanese Nô (180), by Taylor. Anglo-Irish Studies 3 (1977): 123-25.

Using Taylor as a springboard, finds that ‘the dialectical nature of Yeats’s imagination . . . enabled him to take the form of the Noh and convert it so decisively from static to agonistic’ that it was his ‘gateway to Modernism as a dramatist’.
