The editor's purpose in this beautifully produced edition is to provide a 'composite' version of Fitzgerald's text, by selecting what is best from each of his five editions. Volume 1 contains the result of these personal choices. Volume 2 contains, following a general introduction, the text of all five editions of Fitzgerald's translation compared to the editor's personal selection.
