William Butler Yeats

1865–1939

View full profile →

William Butler Yeats (1865–1939) was an Irish poet, dramatist, and mystic, awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1923. A leading figure of the Irish Literary Revival, his work evolved from romantic lyricism to modernist symbolism, deeply influenced by Irish mythology, occultism, and his unrequited love for Maud Gonne. His later poetry grapples with history, aging, and the cyclical nature of civilization.
