Pilgrim Soul: W.B. Yeats and the Ireland of His Time

by Daniel Mulhall

A journey through the history of Ireland through the poetry of W.B. Yeats.

When W.B. Yeats became the first Irish person to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923, the Swedish Academy was crediting him with giving expression to 'the spirit of a whole nation'. The prize established Yeats as the unofficial poet laureate of a country that had, in his own words, been 'transformed utterly' during the preceding decade.
