Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam Fitzgerald Edward
In 1859, Edward FitzGerald translated into English the short, epigrammatic poems (or rub�iy�t) of medieval Persian poet Omar Khayy�m. By the end of the century, it was one of the best-known poems in the English language, admired by Swinburne and Ruskin. If not a true translation--his Omar seems to have read Shakespeare and the King James Bible--the poem nevertheless conveyed some of the most beautiful and haunting images in English poetry, and some of the sharpest-edged.
Karlin provides a fascinating critical introduction which documents the poem's treatment of its Persian sources, along with its multiple affiliations with English and Classical literature and to the Daniel Karlin's richly annotated edition focuses on the poem as a work of Victorian literary art, doing justice to the scope and complexity of FitzGerald's lyrical meditation on human death and fate.
