The Second Edition of Edward Fitzgerald's Ruba'iyyat of 'Umar Khayyam (London: 1868B: Quaritch)

Beschreibung

xl, 200, publisher's blue cloth, gilt titles to spine. Edges and corners rubbed, eps toned, a good, firm copy with no inscriptions."It contains thirty-five more quatrains than the First Edition (of which, since the expiry of the copyright in 1901, countless reprints and editions have flooded the world), and nine more than the Third and Fourth Editions. What the poet has lost or gained by these revisions the reader may judge for himself in the pages that follow. It has been the object and endeavour of the present writer to compare the poem with the works of of early and late philosophers and poets, with most of which works FitzGerald was himself acquainted, and, in suppressing personal comment to the utmost of his power to present this beautiful "Second Edition" as the crown of FitzGerald's labours-and the termination of his own." Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
