Review of 'The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, First, Second and Fifth Editions' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
FitzGerald did such significant creative work on the foundation of Khayyám's rubáiyát that he can hold on to authorship credit for his translation. Poor Khayyám reaches out from nearly a thousand years in the past and cannot tell that he touches me.
