Second Rubaiyat Miscellany

The 'Second Rubaiyat Miscellany' by Louisa Stuart Costello, published in 1840, is a collection that builds on the growing interest in Persian poetry, particularly the works of Omar Khayyam. This sequel to the earlier 'Rubaiyat Miscellany' features translations and commentary on Khayyam's quatrains, reflecting the influence of Edward Fitzgerald's 1859 translation. Costello's work highlights the evolution of English translations of Persian poetry and contributes to the understanding of Khayyam's literary significance in the Western world.
