Twentieth-Century Literature

Introduction to Literary Language Shaped by Cultural and Historical Contexts

William Butter Yeast, also known as W.B Yeats, or just Yeast, is a prominent figure in 20^thcentury literature. Born and raised as Irish, Yeast was a pillar of not just the Irish literary establishment but was also a prominent force behind the Irish Literary Revival. My decision to choose Yeast for this essay lays in the relevance of his work and the times he lived through. Yeast lived through a time of great transformation in Ireland. We witnessed the Land War, the rise and fall of Charles Stewart Parnell. Throughout his lifetime, Ireland had experienced two great wars, one which was a war of independence, and another which was a civil war (Embassy of Ireland 2015). Although Yeast lived for a very long time in London, his works are often found to only be talking of Ireland such as he does in his The Lake Isle of Innisfree.
