    In What Ways is W.B. Yeats a Political Poet William Butler Yeats is political poet in many ways. Indeed‚ there is much correlation between his political beliefs and his written work. He was first and foremost a student of nationalism under the tutelage of the great Irish separatist and Fenian John O’ Leary and it is clear how durable O’Leary’s influence is on Yeats as he is so often referred to in his work.
