The Celtic Twilight (1893) is a collection of stories written and
edited by W.B. Yeats. Compiled at the height of the Celtic
Twilight, a movement to revive the myths and traditions of Ancient
Ireland, The Celtic Twilight captures a wide range of stories,
songs, poems, and firsthand accounts from artists and storytellers
dedicated to the preservation of Irish culture. In "Belief and
Unbelief," a story is shared about a village at the foot of Ben
Bulben. One day, a young girl disappears while walking through a
local field. Fearful that the faeries have gotten her, the
townspeople conduct a search of the village, checking every home
while burning ragweed and reciting spells to ward off the
mischievous spirits. "Mortal Help" discusses the interdependence of
humans and faeries, who require the presence of the living in order
to play games in the physical world. As evidence, an old ditch
digger tells a story from his youth, when he witnessed a group of
faeries playing the game of hurling not far from the field where he
was working. In "A Knight of the Sheep," an old farmer faces off
with the local tax collector, and both struggle to maintain respect
for one another while trading shrewdly concealed insults. "The
Devil" discusses several demonic sightings among Irish peasants,
who claim to have met Lucifer by the side of the road by day and
under the bed at night. The Celtic Twilight captures the collision
of ancient and modern Ireland, preserving its legends while
ensuring their mystery remains. With a beautifully designed cover
and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of W.B. Yeats's
The Celtic Twilight is a classic of Irish literature reimagined for
modern readers.
