The Irish Writers - W.B. Yeats

by David Ross

William Butler Yeats.

(1865-1939) is considered to be one of the greatest poets of the twentieth century. A writer of verse since his teenage years, it was the publishing of The Wanderings of Oisin (1889) that brought him his first favourable reviews and established a reputation that was
to grow and grow. His early poems are distinguished by images from the legends
of Celtic mythology and by a lyrical directness and a wish to communicate with
the Irish people. His involvement in Irish nationalist politics, and his
unrequited love for the revolutionary Maud Gonne, inspired the poetry of his
middle years. His later work is bleaker, more elaborate in style and theory
than his early work, and is heavily influenced by the symbolism of the occult.
