Recitation of THE LAKE ISLE OF INNISFREE by W.B. Yeats (Dublin, Ireland, 1865-1939, Menton, France)
About the author:
William Butler Yeats, often referred to simply as W.B. Yeats (Dublin, 13 June 1865 – Menton, France, 28 January 1939) was an Irish poet, playwright and mystic. He was active in the Irish Literary Revival and co-founded the Abbey Theatre.
His early works were characterized by an exuberant and fanciful romantic tendency, which appears in the title of his 1893 collection, The Celtic Twilight ("The Celtic Twilight"). Later, in his 40s, and as a result of his relationship with modernist poets such as Ezra Pound, and also his active involvement in Irish nationalism, his style becomes more austere and modern.
He was also an Irish senator, a position he held with dedication and seriousness. He was awarded the 1923 Nobel Prize in Literature. The Prize-Giving Committee justified his decision on account of "his ever-inspired poetry, which in a highly artistic form gives expression to the spirit of an entire nation." In 1934 he shared the Gothenburg Prize for Poetry with Rudyard Kipling.

Sobre o Autor:
William Butler Yeats, muitas vezes apenas designado por W.B. Yeats (Dublin, 13 de junho de 1865 — Menton, França, 28 de janeiro de 1939), foi um poeta, dramaturgo e mÃstico irlandês. Atuou ativamente no Renascimento Literário Irlandês e foi co-fundador do Abbey Theatre.
Suas obras iniciais eram caracterizadas por tendência romântica exuberante e fantasiosa, que transparece no tÃtulo da sua colectânea de 1893, The Celtic Twilight ("O Crepúsculo Celta"). Posteriormente, por volta dos seus 40 anos, e em resultado da sua relação com poetas modernistas, como Ezra Pound, e também do seu envolvimento activo no nacionalismo irlandês, seu estilo torna-se mais austero e moderno.
Foi também senador irlandês, cargo que exerceu com dedicação e seriedade. Foi galardoado com o Nobel de Literatura de 1923. O Comité de entrega do prémio justificou a sua decisão pela "sua poesia sempre inspirada, que através de uma forma de elevado nÃvel artÃstico dá expressão ao espÃrito de toda uma nação." Em 1934 compartilhou o Prémio Gothenburg para poesia com Rudyard Kipling.
