'Omar Khayyám: The Persian Text With Paraphrase, And The First And Fourth Editions Of Fitzgerald'S Translation (Routledge Library Editions: Persia)

This book, first published in 1931, shows in a simple, sound and lucid manner how the genius of two poets (Omar Khayyam and FitzGerald) brought together by the genius of an Orientalist (Professor Cowell) culminated in a very strange, very beautiful and profound English poem. This book is concerned with the genuineness of the verses ascribed to Omar Khayyam, and consists of a comparison of the original Arabic, a paraphrase, and FitzGerald's first and fourth editions.
