Уильям Батлер Йейтс (1865-1939) - великий ирландский поэт, принадлежавший одновременно двум культурам, двум литературным традициям - кельтской и английской. В молодости - символист, певец "кельтских сумерек"; в эпоху после первой мировой войны - "последний романтик", защитник высокого, аристократического искусства, стоявший в стороне модных трендов и политических течений. Многогранность Йейтса поражает - один из главных деятелей Ирландского литературного возрождения, собиратель древних легенд и сказок, участник движения за независимость, талантливый прозаик и критик, драматург и режиссер, основатель Театра Аббатства, мистик, ищущий истину в Каббале и картах Таро, тайновидец и мудрец, замкнувшийся в средневековой башне Тур Баллили, - и прежде всего, конечно, замечательный поэт, чей дар не оскудевал до последних дней его жизни.
В этом томе собран весь спектр его опубликованной поэзии, от завораживающе красивых ранних текстов до великолепных поздних стихотворений, которые подтверждают его статус крупнейшего поэта современности.
Книга на английском языке.
W. B. Yeats was Romantic and Modernist, mystical dreamer and leader of the Irish Literary Revival, Nobel prizewinner, dramatist and, above all, poet. He began writing with the intention of putting his 'very self' into his poems. T. S. Eliot, one of many who proclaimed the Irishman's greatness, described him as 'one of those few whose history is the history of their own time, who are part of the consciousness of an age which cannot be understood without them'.
For anyone interested in the literature of the late nineteenth century and the twentieth century, Yeats's work is essential. This volume gathers the full range of his published poetry, from the hauntingly beautiful early lyrics (by which he is still fondly remembered) to the magnificent later poems which put beyond question his status as major poet of modern times. Paradoxical, proud and passionate, Yeats speaks today as eloquently as ever.
