Edward FitzGerald (31 March 1809 – 14 June 1883) was an English poet and writer, best known as the poet of the first and most famous English translation of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. The spelling of his name as both FitzGerald and Fitzgerald is seen. The use here of FitzGerald conforms with that of his own publications, anthologies such as Quiller-Couch\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s Oxford Book of English Verse, and most reference books up through about the 1960s.
