William Butler Yeats (1865–1939) was a prolific Irish poet, dramatist, and one of the foremost figures of 20th-century literature. A pillar of both the Irish and British literary establishments, he helped to found the Abbey Theatre and, in his later years, served as an Irish Senator. Yeats was born in Dublin, Ireland, and his writing was significantly influenced by the rich cultural history of his homeland and its Celtic mythology. Drawing also on themes of nationalism, Yeats' early work often reflected the preoccupations of the Irish Literary Revival, a movement he was deeply entwined with. In his prose work 'John Sherman; and, Dhoya,' Yeats delves into fictional realms that reveal his early development toward the symbolic and mythic. The collection, which comprises a novella and a mythic tale, showcases his versatility and foreshadows the mystical and esoteric leanings that would come to characterize his later poetry. His literary style evolved over his career, incorporating complex symbolism and deep-set themes of identity, spirituality, and search for meaning. Yeats was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1923, affirming his significance in the world of letters. His works are a testament to the breadth of his literary talent and the depth of his intellectual inquiry.
