Synopsis
In 1859, Edward FitzGerald translated into English the short, epigrammatic poems (or "rub᩹ᴢ) of medieval Persian poet Omar Khayyá­® 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. By the end of the century, it was one of the best-known poems in the English language, admired by Swinburne and Ruskin. 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." 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 Bible. A selection of contemporary reviews offers an insight into the poem's early reception, including the first attack on its status as a translation. About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more., Edward FitzGerald's version of the Rubáiyát of the medieval Persian poet and philosopher Omar Khayyám contains some of the most frequently quoted - and beautiful - lines in English poetry.

    Arrived in excellent condition, just as described. I had ordered this and another card at the same time. Prices are some of the best around. The seller also took lots of care in packaging the cards to keep them safe on their journey. I cannot recommend this seller enough. Highly recommend.

    As a serious collector, I care a lot about the condition of cards I purchase. This card was listed near mint and I was very pleased when the card arrived and it was in the condition it was described as (only a small imperfection on the back of the top-right of the card). I also really appreciate that the seller uses thicker envelopes than most sellers do, to better protect the item during shipping. The card was sleeved, in a toploader, sealed in a plastic bag. Very Top Notch Seller!! -R.Bros3-
