Acerca del libro
The Golden Age of Rubaiyat Art, 1884-1913. Volume II. Popular Themes. Edward FitzGerald’s Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam is arguably one of the most widely published and illustrated books of poetry of all time. For over 150 years the various versions have been published and new illustrated versions continue to appear to this day. A series of three extensively illustrated books document the original artists who illustrated books published for the public. In this volume, a select group of verses that achieved special attention from the artists are discussed including: Here Beneath the Bough; Potter Thumping His Clay; Angel of the darker Drink. The individual techniques and approaches taken by them is beautiful to behold. Many of those artists were the premier book illustrators of their day and it shows in the diversity of their work. Two minor areas, nudes and good angels, are also detailed. Sixty-eight pictures, most not seen for over 100 years, complement the text.

Dan is a retired Biology professor (University of Toronto Mississauga) who has written over 130 research articles and written and edited several books. He is also a songwriter and avid book collector. Over the past three years he has been documenting the early history of art of Edward FitzGerald’s Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyam which has culminated in the three volume set, “The Golden Age of Rubáiyát Art, 1884, 1913”. Considered by many to be a jack of all trades (which implies master of none), he simply finds all aspects of life interesting. His major failing in life is golf but his fairly good grasp of Elizabethan English helps his game a bit.
