Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam by Edward Fitz Gerald

For the great bulk of English readers—if in this connection -a "great bulk" of readers can be predicated—the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam means the one particular translation done so divinely well by Edward FitzGerald when the Victorian era was at its most self-centred & self-sufficient state of development. The poem made so little mark on Its first appearance—so little mark with the critics and the general public, that is to say—that the original edition, passing out of sight became presently a delightful rarity for the next generation of the second-hand book to unearth. for the high appreciation in two kinds which was then awaiting it—the literary and the monetary.
