Book Description
The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam Jr by Wallace Irwin is an English translation of a selection of quatrains (rubāʿiyāt) attributed to Omar Khayyam. Excerpt: "Since the publication of Edward Fitzgerald's classic translation of the Rubaiyat in 1851 - or rather since its general popularity several years later - poets minor and major have been rendering the sincerest form of flattery to the genius of the Irishman who brought Persia into the best-regulated families. Unfortunately, there was only one Omar and there were scores of imitators who, to make the Astronomer go round, were obliged to draw him out to the thinness of Balzac's Magic Skin."
