Irish poet, dramatist, and prose writer, William Butler (W.B.) Yeats (1865-1939), is considered to this day as one of the greatest English-language poets of the 20th century. The eldest son of an Irish painter, Yeats came of age alongside Irish nationalism, and developed his love of the Romantic poets into an abiding interest in Irish culture. An enthusiast of mysticism and the occult, he was also invested in politics - but for most of his life shied away from becoming deeply involved in activism. He received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923.
