Yeats was born in [[Dublin]] but raised primarily in [[County Sligo]] and in [[London]].  His father, John Butler Yeats, was a well-known painter.  Though born into the [[Protestant Ascendancy]], W. B. Yeats became an important figure in the [[Celtic Revival]], a movement that championed native Irish culture over English influences.  Much of his work draws upon Irish mythology and folklore.  His poetry was also influenced by [[Maude Gonne]], with whom he maintained a primarily platonic love affair for many years.  Yeats cofounded Dublin's famous [[Abbey Theater]].
