Fitzgerald, Edward - The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (Published in by The Folio Society in 2020. William Morris's exquisitely transcribed and illuminated 1872 version of the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám is reproduced in complete facsimile in this new Folio Society edition. Bound in blocked cloth based on the 1872 original binding. 32 pages. Printed in colour and gold ink throughout. Blocked cloth slipcase. 6.5" x 4.75". The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám holds a unique place in English literature. A sensation of the Victorian age, it remains one of the best-loved poems in English. It was born of an encounter between two minds across seven centuries, when the reclusive Victorian scholar Edward FitzGerald translated a set of verses attributed to the 12th-century Persian poet Omar Khayyám. )
