Media Reviews
an attractive new edition with a lengthy essay by Tony Briggs, who characterises the poem, memorably, as the story of the apocalypse told to us by a kind uncle DAILY MAIL a lovely new edition... Professor Briggs does us all a favour by putting before our red and weary eyes FitzGerald and this legacy from an older Iran. -- Libby Purves TIMES
