Edward Marlborough FitzGerald (1809-1883) was an English writer, best known as the poet of the first and most famous English translation of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (1859). In the world at large the poem seems at first to have attracted no attention, but became slowly famous. It was not until 1868 that FitzGerald was encouraged to print a second and greatly revised edition. Meanwhile he had produced in 1865 a version of the Agamemnon, and two more plays from Calderon.

It was not until 1868 that FitzGerald was encouraged to print a second and greatly revised edition. Meanwhile he had produced in 1865 a version of the Agamemnon, and two more plays from Calderon. In 1880-1881 he issued privately translations of the two Oedipus tragedies; his last publication was Readings in Crabbe, 1882. Of FitzGerald as a man practically nothing was known until, in 1889, Mr W. Aldis Wright, his close friend and literary executor, published his Letters and Literary Remains in three volumes. This was followed in 1895 by the Letters to Fanny Kemble. These letters constitute a fresh bid for immortality, since they revealed that FitzGerald was a witty, picturesque and sympathetic letterwriter.

Excerpt: ...degree of imbecility it is. The words are written by Mr. Bunn! Arcades ambo. I say we shall see you over in England before long: for I rather think you want an Englishman to quarrel with sometimes. I mean quarrel in the sense of a good strenuous difference of opinion, supported on either side by occasional outbursts of spleen. Come and let us try. You used to irritate my vegetable blood sometimes. To Bernard Barton. Geldestone , Nov. 27, 1844 Dear Barton , My return to Boulge is delayed for another week, because we expect my Father here just now. But for this, I should have been on the Union Coach this p. 179 day. The children here are most delightful; the best company in all the world, to my mind. If you could see the little girl dance the Polka with her sisters! Not set up like an Infant Terpsichore, but seriously inclined, with perfect steps in perfect time. We see a fine white frost over the grass this morning; and I suppose you have rubbed your hands and cried Edward Fitzgerald, Books, Biography and Memoir, Letters Of Edward Fitzgerald Books>Biography and Memoir, General Books LLC<
