W.B. Yeats was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923, and Daniel Mulhalls book "PILGRIM SOUL" explores his role in Irish affairs and how his poetry reflected the changing Ireland of his time.

When W.B. Yeats was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1923, the Swedish Academy hailed him for capturing the essence of an entire nation. This prestigious accolade solidified Yeats as the unofficial poet laureate of a country that had undergone a profound transformation during the preceding decade, as he himself had described it.
From the enchanting Celtic Twilight of the 1890s to his passing in 1939, Yeats' writings serve as a distinctive portal through which to explore the evolving Ireland of his era. In PILGRIM SOUL, Daniel Mulhall offers a highly accessible and enlightening guide to the poet, delving into his unique role in Irish affairs. Each chapter begins with a prominent Yeats poem, serving as a focal point for Mulhall's examination of the historical events that inspired it. Throughout the journey, he explores Yeats' indomitable Irishness, his occasional disillusionment with Ireland, his later conservative politics, and the profound impact that his lifelong engagement with Irish affairs had on his poetic craftsmanship.
Throughout his life, Yeats created vivid portrayals of his homeland, captivating readers both in Ireland and across the globe. PILGRIM SOUL, as a personal exploration of Yeats' poetry and life, reflects Daniel Mulhall's own four-decade-long tenure as an ambassador for Ireland, its people, and its rich cultural heritage.
