Educated at the Godolphin School and the Dublin High School, Yeats initially studied art in Dublin before turning to writing as a career. He helped to establish Irish Literary Societies in both London and Dublin and was instrumental in the creation of the Irish National Theatre. Among his earlier works of note were The Wanderings of Oisin, and Other Poems (1889), The Celtic Twilight (1893), Fairy and Folk tales of the Irish Peasantry (1888) and The Secret Rose (1897). He produced his first play, The Countess Cathleen, in 1892. He was elected to the Irish Free State Senate and sat from 1922 to 1928. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923. Among his countless works are The Land of Heart's Desire (1894), The Shadowy Waters (1900), Deirdre (1907), The Green Helmet and Other Poems (1910), The Wild Swans at Coole (1917), The Cat and the Moon and Certain Poems (1924), October Blast (1927), The Winding Stair (1929), Wheels and Butterflies (1934), A Full Moon in March (1935) and Last Poems and Two Plays (1939 - posthumous). |
