Tower

William Butler Yeats (1865–1939) was an Irish poet, dramatist and writer, and is widely considered to be one of the foremost figures of twentieth-century literature. A prolific writer, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923. He is perhaps best remembered today for his later works The Tower and Words for Music Perhaps and Other Poems.

'His verse is inspired, his poetic persona is magnificent.' (Peter Ackroyd, The Times) 'Together with Joyce, Yeats made modern Irish poetry possible.' (Timothy Webb)
