Nobel Winner William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) was born in Dublin. He is a bright star in modern literature. He is skilled in drama, poetry, lyric, and prose. He had a great contribution to establish Irish national theater. He was at the center of the literary Movement . According to him, literature should not be confined in a particular age. Literature is the asset of all ages. He was not only a poet of Irish literature but also he was a pioneer of new poetry movement . The work of him as a dramatist belongs to the Irish literary movement and the Abbey Theater. Symbolism has been used in his plays. The plays no doubt present a love for old Irish legends and folk songs, tales of supernatural ism, angels and demons but they lack action and sound characterization . The popularity of his plays depended more upon poetic charm and peculiarity than upon dramatic power. His famous poem is "The Wild Swans at Coole" . In 1920 he published Four plays of Dancer . In his plays he gave a new lease of life to national myths and legend and poetized primitive human emotion .
