The name of William Butler Yeats, the great poet of Ireland, who wrote in English, winner of the Nobel Prize (1923), belongs equally to Irish and English literature. The motifs of sagas about gods and heroes were combined in his poems with the tradition coming from Shakespeare and Milton, Blake and Shelley. The first collection of Yeats's poems in Russia was published only at the end of the twentieth century. Since then, many of his books have been published — not only poetry, but also plays, short stories, articles and memoirs. In this edition, the reader is offered Yeats's poetic works in translations by Grigory Kruzhkov: from romantic poems from the period of "Celtic twilight" to the collections "The Tower" (1928) and "Spiral Staircase" (1933), which are recognized as the pinnacle achievements of the poet. The publication also includes an introductory article by the translator and detailed comments.
