Autorenporträt
William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) was an Irish poet and playwright whose work has left an indelible mark on modern literature. A towering figure of 20th-century poetry, Yeats drew heavily from Irish mythology and folklore, as well as contemporary themes of nationalism and political strife. His works often reflect a yearning for a deeper spiritual understanding and express complex ideas with lyrical beauty and profound insight. Yeats was a driving force behind the Irish Literary Revival and co-founded the Abbey Theatre, where much of his dramatic work was first performed. 'The King's Threshold' and 'On Baile's Strand' are two such plays, showcasing his fascination with Irish legend and his masterful command of dramatic structure; they encapsulate the marriage of his political engagement and otherworldly mysticism. Yeats was also a member of the Irish Senate and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1923. His contributions to the world of literature have made him an enduring symbol of Irish cultural identity and earned him an esteemed place among the literary giants of the 20th century.
