Abstract

When first staged in 1916, At the Hawk's Well marked a drastic turn in William Butler Yeats's dramaturgy. The play, his first experimentation with Noh theater, is regularly treated by scholars as a turning point in Yeats's theater. However, treating At the Hawk's Well as Yeats's sole intellectual product misses the transnational encounters and collaborations that made that first production and even the script possible. "Dancing in the 'Deeps of the Mind': Transnational Encounters in At the Hawk's Well" brings to the fore the occult influences as well as the embodied knowledges of Yeats's many collaborators to help redefine how we consider authorship in this play and theater more broadly.
