Published in New York, by Hurst & Company No publishing date anywhere on book but I found it may be published in 1905. Well worn Leather shell print with gold lettering reading "Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam" feels a bit padded. Includes biographical preface by "M.K. (Michael Kearney) Tennyson's poem to E. Fitzgerald" the texts of the fourth and fifth version of Fitzgerald translation together with his introducion and notes on the text; a note by the editor (w. Aldis Wright)a chapter on the variations between the second, a third and forth version of Fitzgerald's translation and a comparable table of stanzas in the four editions 141 pages Click here to read or post comments.
