About The Author

W.B. Yeats

William Butler Yeats was born in 1865 in County Dublin. With his much-loved early poems such as ‘The Stolen Child’, and ‘He Remembers Forgotten Beauty’, he defined the Celtic Twilight mood of the late-Victorian period and led the Irish Literary Renaissance. Yet his style evolved constantly, and he is acknowledged as a major figure in literary modernism and twentieth-century European letters. T. S.

Yeats died in 1939.
