The Celtic Twilight

William Butler Yeats, a prominent Irish poet and dramatist, played a crucial role in the 20th-century literary scene and the Irish Literary Revival. He co-founded the Abbey Theatre and served as a Senator in the Irish Free State. Born in Sandymount and educated in Ireland and London, his early exposure to Irish legends and the occult profoundly influenced his poetry. Yeats's work reflects his deep connection to Irish culture and his commitment to its artistic resurgence.
