The book Edward Fitzgerald by Arthur C. Benson was published in 1905 and is a biography of the English poet and translator Edward Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald is best known for his translation of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, which became a popular work in the late 19th century. The book provides a detailed account of Fitzgerald's life, from his birth in 1809 to his death in 1883. It covers his upbringing in a wealthy family, his education at Cambridge University, and his travels to Europe and the Middle East. Benson also explores Fitzgerald's literary career, including his translations of Persian and Greek texts, as well as his own original poetry. The book examines Fitzgerald's relationship with other writers and artists of his time, including Tennyson, Thackeray, and Ruskin. Overall, Edward Fitzgerald provides a comprehensive portrait of a significant figure in English literature and offers insight into the cultural and intellectual climate of the Victorian era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
