 Iransaga - Edward Fitzgerald's Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám
century Persian poet Omar Khayyám, is well known in the West, through the work of the English poet and translator Edward Fitzgerald.
Fitzgerald was a talented poet; however, his "Rubáiyát" is not a serious and scholarly translation of Khayyám's work, and represents many of his own ideas and line of thought.
Published in 1859, Fitzgerald's "Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám" attracted little attention until 1860, when it was discovered by other artists and literary figures, such as Dante Gabriel Rossetti who was a poet, and is well-known as one of the painters of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.

 Edward Marlborough FitzGerald - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edward Marlborough FitzGerald (March 31, 1809–June 14, 1883) was an English writer, best known as the poet of the first and most famous English translation of Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám.
The melody of FitzGerald's verse is so exquisite, the thoughts he rearranges and strings together are so profound, and the general atmosphere of poetry in which he steeps his version is so pure, that no surprise need be expressed at the universal favour which the poem has met with among critical readers.
FitzGerald published five editions of his translation of the Rubáiyát, of which three (the first, second, and fifth) are significantly different.

 FitzGerald, Edward. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
Although actually a paraphrase rather than a translation of a poem by the 11th-century Persian poet Omar Khayyam, it retains the spirit of the original in its poignant expression of a philosophy counseling man to live life to the fullest while he can.
Among FitzGerald’s other works are Euphranor (1851), a Platonic dialogue, and Polonius (1852), a collection of aphorisms.
A dilettante and scholar, FitzGerald spent most of his life living in seclusion in Suffolk.

 Speeches from the Dock, Part I
Our national poet, Thomas Moore, the fellow-student and intimate friend of young Emmet, witnessed many of those displays of his abilities, and in his “Life and Death of Lord Edward Fitzgerald,” speaks of him in terms of the highest admiration.
The arrest of the delegates at the house of Oliver Bond in Dublin, and the capture of Lord Edward Fitzgerald contributed to this end; but these things the country might have peacably endured if no more dreadful trial had been put upon it.
Even in the days of Emmet and Wolfe Tone, of Russell and Fitzgerald, when men of education, talent, and social standing were not few in the national ranks, the Sheareses were hailed as valuable accessions to the cause, and were recognised by the United Irishmen as heaven-destined leaders for the people.

Ted Hughes (1930-1998) was an eminent English poet who led a resurgence of English poetic innovation starting in the late 1950s.
In the 1950s Hughes went to Pembroke College, Cambridge, where he started to "read" English but changed to anthropology as he felt that the academic study of English literature conflicted with his search for poetic creativity.
