BL. W. B. Yeats

243. Vukmirovich, John. ‘Politics of the Heart: W. B. Yeats’ The Dreaming of the Bones (14a) and Nishikigi’ (BK8). Journal of Irish Literature 17/1 (1988): 45-54.

Suggests that of the ‘much . . . said’ earlier about the relation between these plays, ‘several aspects . . . have been missed’, and Yeats’s ‘purpose’ in adapting Nishikigi has been ‘misunderstood’, but what follows does not add significantly to several earlier studies, particularly analyses by Wilson (102) and Clark (114 and 121).
