Yeats: The Life and Works of William Butler Yeats

This exhibition in Dublin City, County Dublin, is devoted to William Butler Yeats, the poet and dramatist whose work shaped modern Irish literature and who won the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Drawing on manuscripts, letters, photographs and personal material, it follows his life and writing from early lyric poetry through his role in the Irish Literary Revival and the founding of the Abbey Theatre, to the later work of his final years. Useful background for anyone interested in Irish poetry, the revival period or the cultural side of Ireland’s road to independence.
