Author Biography William Butler Yeatswas born in Dublin on June 13, 1865. Yeats attended school in London and in Dublin but spent his summers in Connaught, in the west of Ireland. Early in his career, Yeats was part of the fin de si cle in London and involved with Irish literary revival groups. His first book of poetry,Mosada, A Dramatic Poem, was published in 1886 followed byThe Wanderings of Oisinin 1889. With Lady Gregory he founded the Irish Theater and served as the chief playwright. After 1910, Yeatss dramatic art drastically changed toward a more esoteric and experimental style, heavily influenced by the Japanese Noh plays. He was appointed to the Irish Senate in 1922 and received the Nobel Prize in 1923. His poetry volumes, in particularThe Wild Swans at Coole(1919),Michael Robartes and the Dancer(1921),The Tower(1928),The Winding Stair and Other Poems(1933), andLast Poems and Plays(1940) distinguished Yeats as one of the most influential English language poets of the twentieth century. William Butler Yeats died on January 28, 1939 in Roquebrune, France and was buried in Ireland.Jessica Hische is a letterer, illustrator, typographer, and web designer.
