Beschreibung

'The Celtic Twilight' can read simply as an anthropological compilation of beliefs and superstitions, a fascinating, entertaining and sometimes hilarious journey through the dreamlike world of Irish faery and folklore, as related to Yeats by the peasants of County Sligo at the end of the nineteenth century. But there is a deeper significance to this book. It can be seen as Yeats' subtle polemic against too concrete a view of human existence, as his call for a return to a more magical view of life and Nature: where the Unseen is nearer than we believe, where springs are holy, trees have souls, and the very air shimmers with spirituality.

Über den Autor

W. B. Yeats was an Irish poet, dramatist, prose writer, folklorist, and one of the central figures of modern literature. Born in Dublin in 1865, Yeats became deeply involved in the Irish Literary Revival, a movement that drew on folklore, mythology, national culture, theatre, and the recovery of Irish imaginative traditions. His early work often turned to fairy lore, occult symbolism, Celtic legend, and the spiritual atmosphere of the Irish [...]'s major works include The Celtic Twilight, The Wind Among the Reeds, Responsibilities, The Tower, The Winding Stair, and many plays and essays connected to the Irish dramatic and literary revival. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1923 and remains one of the most important poets in the English language. In The Celtic Twilight, his interests in folklore, mysticism, nationalism, and literary style come together in prose that helped define the atmosphere of the Celtic Revival.
