William Butler Yeats, born on 13 June 1865, was an Irish poet, dramatist and
writer, and one of the foremost figures of 20th-century
literature. He was a driving force behind the Irish Literary Revival, and along
with Lady Gregory founded the Abbey Theatre, serving as its chief during its
early years. He was awarded the 1923 Nobel Prize in Literature, and later
served two terms as a Senator of the Irish Free State.
