BL. W. B. Yeats

205. Genet, Jacqueline, ed. William Butler Yeats. Paris: Editions de l’Herne, 1981.

a. ‘Yeats et le nô: Au puits de l’épervier’. Finds that the nô provided Yeats with a dramatic structure that allowed him to express ‘the ineffable reality of the internal life’. Particularly concerned with At the Hawk’s Well (12), but includes passing remarks about other plays.

b. ‘Le Chat et la Lune: kyôgen philosophique’. Outlines similarities between The Cat and the Moon (24a) and kyôgen, and suggests that similarities to the Fenollosa translation of KikazuZatô (see 24a) are more than coincidental.
