Here in one volume are the collected chief works of the Victorian writer and poet, Edward FitzGerald, complete with original notes, prefaces, glossary and appendix. For the great majority of English readers, the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám means only these particular translations, the first, second and fifth editions done so divinely well by FitzGerald, when the Victorian Age of Empire was at its height. Here also is his less well-known translation of the mystical Súfi allegory, Salámán and Absál, by the Persian scholar and poet, Jámí, as well as FitzGerald?s biographies of both Omar Khayyám and Jámí.
