威廉·巴特勒·叶芝(William Butler Yeats,1865年6月13日~1939年1月28日),亦译"叶慈"、"耶茨",爱尔兰诗人、剧作家和散文家,著名的神秘主义者,是"爱尔兰文艺复兴运动"的领袖,也是[url=]艾比剧院[/url](Abbey Theatre)的创建者之一。叶芝的诗受浪漫主义、唯美主义、神秘主义、象征主义和玄学诗的影响,演变出其独特的风格。叶芝的艺术代表着英语诗从传统到现代过渡的缩影。叶芝早年的创作具有[url=]浪漫主义[/url]的华丽风格,善于营造梦幻般的氛围,在1893年出版的散文集《[url=]凯尔特的薄暮[/url]》,便属于此风格。然而进入不惑之年后,在现代主义诗人艾兹拉·庞德等人的影响下,尤其是在其本人参与爱尔兰[url=]民族主义[/url]政治运动的切身经验的影响下,叶芝的创作风格发生了比较激烈的变化,更加趋近[url=]现代主义[/url]了。# Y. b; M7 L2 Y" e
