Career
William Butler Yeats is considered one of the cornerstones of 20th Century Literature. His importance to Irish letters is noted by his 1923 Nobel Prize, which the Nobel committee claimed gave "expression to the spirit of a whole nation." Yeats, influenced in part by William Blake, had a lifelong fascination with the occult, theosophical, and spiritualist movement of the late 1800s and early 1900s.-
