W B Yeats by Tina Callaghan

William Butler Yeats (13th June, 1865-28th January, 1939) was an Irish poet and one of the foremost figures of 20th-century literature. A pillar of both the Irish and British literary establishments, he helped to found the Abbey Theatre, and in his later years served as a Senator of the Irish Free State for two terms. Yeats was a driving force behind the Irish Literary Revival along with Lady Gregory and others. This book explores his life and career.
