248. Polinsky, Julia Alexandra. ‘“Thought Through my Eyes”: Reading the Possible Worlds of Yeats’s Plays’. PhD thesis, State University of New York at Stony Brook, 1989. Abstract in DAI 51/3: 0847A.

Argues that ‘over the course of Yeats’s career as a playwright, he changed what was a traditional, realistic treatment of both literary and performance texts to a semiotic representation based on the Japanese Noh of the Ghost’. Discusses The Dreaming of the Bones (14a), The Cat and the Moon (24a), The Words Upon the Window Pane (34), and Purgatory (44b).
