Fitzgerald, Edward

Fitzgerald, Edward
(31 mar. 1809, Bredfield, cerca de Woodbridge, Suffolk, Inglaterra–14 jun. 1883, Merton, Norfolk).

Poeta y traductor británico. Tras graduarse en la Universidad de Cambridge, llevó una vida de reclusión. Se lo conoce sobre todo por su traducción de las Rubaiyat (1859), una adaptación libre de los versos de Umar Jayyam que es de suyo un clásico de la literatura inglesa. Muchas de sus imágenes, como "Una jarra de vino, una hogaza de pan y tú y "El dedo móvil escribe, y habiendo escrito, sigue su marcha, han pasado al habla común. Fitzgerald realizó asimismo una traducción libre de seis dramas de Pedro Calderón de la Barca (1853).
