| | D17 Edward Gordon Craig, Japan, and English-Language Verse |
 | | Craig’s conceptions of a ‘total’ theatre incorporating all the arts, with emphasis on symbolist set designs, masks, verse, and dance, are often related both by Craig himself and by others to principles derived from the classical theatre of Japan, particularly the nô. |
 | | By the time the journal began Craig was the most influential theorist of the theatre in Europe, and the scriptures and dictates that appeared in its pages confirmed and extended his pre-eminence, most importantly in the context of this study as a defining force in the development of Yeats’s ‘anti-theatre’. |
