Irish Writers

William Butler Yeats

Born in Dublin, the poet and dramatist William Butler Yeats is considered to be one of the most important writers of the 20th century literature.  In 1923, he was the first Irishman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, although he is often credited with being one of the rare writers who composed his best work, including 1929s The Winding Stair and Other Poems, after receiving the award.
