An influential figure in 20th-century literature, William Butler Yeats was a prominent Irish poet and dramatist. He played a crucial role in the Irish Literary Revival and co-founded the Abbey Theatre with Lady Gregory and Edward Martyn, where he served as chief in its formative years. His poetic contributions earned him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1923, recognized by the Nobel Committee for their artistic inspiration and form. Yeats's legacy continues to shape both Irish and British literary landscapes.
