Its lines and verses have become part of the western literary canon
and his translation of this most famous of poems has been
continuously in print in for almost a century and a half. But just
who was Edward FitzGerald? Was he the eccentric recluse that most
scholars would have us believe? Is there more to the man than just
his famous translation? In The Man Behind the Rubaiyat of Omar
Khayyam William Martin and Sandra Martin go beyond the standard
view. Drawing on their unique analysis of the more than 2,000
surviving letters of FitzGerald, together with evidence from his
scrapbooks, commonplace books and materials from his personal
library, they reveal a more convivial yet complex personality than
we have been led to suppose."
