The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam Jr.

The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam Jr.

Wallace Irwin

1902

The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam Jr., published in 1902 by Wallace Irwin, is a satirical collection of poetry that parodies the original Rubaiyat of the 11th-century Persian poet Omar Khayyam. This whimsical work humorously explores themes of life, love, and societal vices, particularly focusing on smoking and romantic escapades. Through clever wordplay, Irwin presents Omar Khayyam Jr. as a character who balances his father's philosophical legacy with a more moderate and cheeky lifestyle, offering a playful critique of contemporary beliefs and indulgences.
