BL. W. B. Yeats

208. Styan, John Louis. ‘Symbolist Drama in English: Yeats and the Japanese Noh Drama’. In Symbolism, Surrealism, and the Absurd, vol. 2 of Modern Drama in Theory and Practice. Cambridge: Cambridge UP, 1981.

Places Yeats’s post-1915 drama, particularly, At the Hawk’s Well (12), in the context of his earlier interests in Symbolism, and argues finally that the influence from the nô is ‘interesting chiefly as a novelty’.
