Soon after William's birth the family relocated to the Pollexfen home at Merville, Sligo to stay with her extended family, and the young poet came to think of the area as his childhood and spiritual home. His mother, Susan Mary Pollexfen, came from a wealthy merchant family in the county town Sligo, County Sligo, who owned a milling and shipping business. At the time of his marriage, John Yeats was studying law but abandoned his studies to study art at Heatherley's Art School in London. Jervis' grandson Benjamin married Mary Butler, daughter of a landed family in County Kildare. His father, John Butler Yeats (1839–1922), was a descendant of Jervis Yeats, a Williamite soldier and linen merchant who died in 1712. He largely renounced the transcendental beliefs of his youth, though he remained preoccupied with physical and spiritual masks, as well as with cyclical theories of life.Īn Anglo-Irishman, William Butler Yeats was born in Sandymount, County Dublin, Ireland. From 1900, Yeats' poetry grew more physical and realistic. His earliest volume of verse was published in 1889 and those slow-paced and lyrical poems display debts to Edmund Spenser, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and the Pre-Raphaelite poets. Those topics feature in the first phase of his work, which lasted roughly until the turn of the 20th century. He studied poetry in his youth and from an early age was fascinated by both Irish legends and the occult. Yeats was born and educated in Dublin, but spent his childhood in County Sligo. Yeats was a very good friend of Indian Bengali poet Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore. In 1923 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature as the first Irishman so honoured for what the Nobel Committee described as "inspired poetry, which in a highly artistic form gives expression to the spirit of a whole nation." Yeats is generally considered one of the few writers who completed their greatest works after being awarded the Nobel Prize such works include The Tower (1928) and The Winding Stair and Other Poems (1929). Yeats was a driving force behind the Irish Literary Revival and, along with Lady Gregory, Edward Martyn, and others, founded the Abbey Theatre, where he served as its chief during its early years. A pillar of both the Irish and British literary establishments, in his later years he served as an Irish Senator for two terms.
