BL. W. B. Yeats

221. Takahashi, Yasunari. ‘Yeats to nô’ (Yeats and the nô). Sekai 451 (1983): 247-61.

Takahashi traces the underpinnings of Yeats’s interest in the nô to his occultism, and argues that his earlier drama had prepared him for what he found in the nô; includes passing discussion of Pound’s work with the Fenollosa manuscripts and their importance to Yeats’s development.
