Introducing W.B. Yeats Date:

What do you know of Irish legends or folklore? I see, I think, I wonder.

William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) was a key figure in Irish history William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) was a key figure in Irish history. He founded the Abbey Theatre, won the Noble Prize in Literature, was a senator and is said to have expressed the “spirit of a whole nation”. Because he wrote from personal, political and historic perspectives, readers often say his work is more worldly and far-reaching. It has many themes and is quite varied.

Yeats was also a hopeless romantic, chasing after the actress / revolutionary Maud Gonne for thirty years (and then her daughter). Your next task has to do with this aspect of his poetry. Pretending to be Yeats (a rich, powerful and nice guy), write the following: Write three ways you would make this woman’s life better if you were a couple. Write three ways this woman’s life would be worse off if you were not a couple.

Yeats's subject matter is universal: country, love, nature, ageing, war. His ability to find amazing analogies between our lives and nature, his strength of conviction, his talent to write in perfect rhyme with a memorable rhythm makes him a magnificent Irish poet.
