BL. W. B. Yeats

229. Loizeaux, Elizabeth Bergmann. Yeats and the Visual Arts. New Brunswick: Rutgers UP, 1986.

Includes commentary allying Yeats’s use of the nô with his theories about the visual arts (pp. 103-16). Argues that among Yeats’s concepts of the theatre was that stage design could be ‘sculptural’, and that in the nô he ‘immediately recognized’ principles that ‘liberated him from the constraints of the conventional theater . . . and invited the use of sculptural effects’.
