William Butler Yeats
درباره نویسنده
William Butler Yeats was an Irish poet, dramatist, and one of the foremost figures of 20th-century literature. A key figure in the Irish Literary Revival, he co-founded the Abbey Theatre and was a driving force behind the revival of Irish folklore and mythology in literature. His early work was heavily influenced by the romantic ideals of the 19th century, but he later evolved into a modernist, exploring themes of love, loss, and the passage of time. Yeats' poetry often reflects his deep interest in mysticism and the occult, particularly in his later years, becoming increasingly symbolic and complex.
Yeats was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1923, recognized for his poetic expression of the spirit of his nation. His works, such as "The Tower" and "The Winding Stair," showcase his mastery of form and his profound philosophical insights. Yeats' influence extends beyond poetry into the realms of drama and prose, and he remains a pivotal figure in discussions of modern literature and Irish identity.
