Except for a few contributions to periodicals, Fitzgerald had nothing published until 1849 when he wrote a memoir to go with a collection of letters and poems of Bernard Barton. He next published, anonymously, Euphranor: a Dialogue of Youth in 1851 and Polonius: a Collection of Wise Saws and Modern Instances in 1852. In 1853 was published Six Dramas of Calderon, "freely translated by Edward Fitzgerald," the only book to which his name was attached during his lifetime. He is best remembered as the translator of the Rubaiyat, recognition for which came after his death. SCARCE.See: The Modern Library at Watlington Park. p. 110. Keynes [Wm. Pickering]. p. 54.
