نبذة عن المؤلف

William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) stands as a towering figure in the pantheon of 20th-century literature. His work, known for its lyrical beauty and potent symbolism, captures the complex intersection of mythology, politics, and personal introspection. Born in Dublin, Ireland, Yeats was instrumental in the Irish Literary Revival, fostering a renaissance of Irish culture and heritage through his literary efforts and his involvement with the Abbey Theatre. His broad corpus includes poetry, plays, and prose, each marked by a profound exploration of the human experience and spiritual quest. Among his notable works, 'The Cutting of an Agate' (1912) showcases his eloquent prose, addressing topics from aesthetics to theater criticism. Yeats's style evolved over his lifetime, transitioning from the romantic and mystic early writings to a more modernist approach influenced by his engagement with Irish nationalism and the tumultuous socio-political landscape of his time. A recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1923, Yeats's contribution to the arts remains enduring, attesting to his role in shaping both the Irish and global literary tradition. His themes of identity, tradition, and existential inquiry continue to resonate with readers and scholars alike, affirming his legacy as a poet of both national and universal significance.
