First published in 1893, "The Celtic Twilight" is a collection of poetry and Celtic folklore tales by the famed Irish poet William Butler Yeats. Born and educated in Dublin, Ireland, Yeats discovered early in his literary career a fascination with Irish folklore and stories of the occult and supernatural. Awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923, Yeats produced a vast collection of stories, songs, and poetry of Ireland's historical and legendary past throughout his lengthy career. "The Celtic Twilight" includes forty-two Celtic folklore tales, and Yeats makes no secret of his fascination, and even belief, in the world of magic and the existence of faeries. He combines these ancient tales, which captivated and inspired him as a child, with his talent for lyrical poetry, and the result is a beautiful and timeless collection of stories and legends. Yeats' passion in these tales comes forth through the pages and adds a new and evocative dimension to these familiar myths. Though the stories are short in length, there is no scarcity of depth and description and Yeats' collection remains an important addition to the Irish folklore tradition. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Autorenporträt
William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) was an influential Irish poet, playwright, and essayist, regarded as one of the foremost figures in modern literature. Born in Dublin, Yeats was deeply immersed in Irish cultural and political life, which significantly shaped his literary output. His work is renowned for its rich symbolism, exploration of Irish mythology, and spiritual themes. Yeats's early poetry was influenced by the Romantic tradition, but his later work evolved to incorporate elements of mysticism, folklore, and the occult, reflecting his deep interest in esoteric subjects and Celtic tradition. His collection The Secret Rose exemplifies this shift, showcasing his engagement with Irish legends and symbolic imagery. A major figure in the Irish literary renaissance, Yeats was also a co-founder of the Abbey Theatre, which played a crucial role in the revival of Irish drama. His contributions to literature were recognized with the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1923. Yeats's work remains pivotal in understanding both modernist poetry and Irish cultural history, leaving a lasting legacy through his innovative use of language and themes.
