"This Dover edition, first published in 1990, is an unabridged and unaltered republication of the first and fifth editions of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. (Original editions published by Bernard Quaritch, London: first edition, 1859; fifth edition, 1889)"--Title page verso. |
| Summary |
Omar Khayyam (1048-1122) was a Persian mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher who was not known as a poet in his lifetime. These verses lay in obscurity until 1859, when FitzGerald published a free adaptation of this Persian poetry. As a result, The Rubaiyat became one of the best-known and most often quoted English classics. |
