Autor

William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) was an influential Irish poet, playwright, and essayist, regarded as one of the foremost figures in modern literature. Born in Dublin, Yeats was deeply immersed in Irish cultural and political life, which significantly shaped his literary output. His work is renowned for its rich symbolism, exploration of Irish mythology, and spiritual themes. Yeats's early poetry was influenced by the Romantic tradition, but his later work evolved to incorporate elements of mysticism, folklore, and the occult, reflecting his deep interest in esoteric subjects and Celtic tradition. His collection The Secret Rose exemplifies this shift, showcasing his engagement with Irish legends and symbolic imagery. A major figure in the Irish literary renaissance, Yeats was also a co-founder of the Abbey Theatre, which played a crucial role in the revival of Irish drama. His contributions to literature were recognized with the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1923. Yeats's work remains pivotal in understanding both modernist poetry and Irish cultural history, leaving a lasting legacy through his innovative use of language and themes.
