		In it Abbott tries to popularise the notion of multidimensional geometry but the book is also a clever satire on the social, moral, and religious values of the period.
		Abbott's liberal inclinations in theology were prominent both in his educational views and in his books.

	[No title]
		Edwin Abbott Abbott was not the first person to posit a two-dimensional universe inhabited by flat beings, but he was the first to explore what it would mean for such individuals to interact with phenomena from a dimension higher than their own.
		Edwin Abbott Abbott (Figure 1), born one hundred and fifty-two years ago, was a prolific author who produced over forty-five books in his fifty-year writing career, but he was not a mathematician.
		Abbott specifically identifies Candler as 'the H.C. to whom Flatland wasdedicated' in the introduction to one of his theology volumes written just after Candler died in 1916, and the first edition in the Trinity College library, donated by one of Candler's grandsons, is inscribed simply 'To H.C., in particular'.

	village voice > arts > Being Edwin Abbott by Dennis Lim
		Abbott illustrates the challenges that a lower-dimensional being would face in attempting to visualize our world—and in so doing, invites us to imagine the corresponding situation in three dimensions and beyond.
		In a 1990 article, Banchoff links Flatland with Abbott's theological novels, Philochristus and Onesimus, which both build toward epiphanous encounters (with Christ and Saint Paul, respectively) and end with the heroes' "frustration and eventual persecution." Abbott's interdimensional jeu d'esprit is both spiritual allegory and epistemological inquiry.
		Abbott had little in common with Victorian spiritualism, a shared interest in the fourth dimension notwithstanding.

	The Annotated Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, Perseus Publishing, Edwin Abbott Abbott, Ian Stewart
		Published in 1884 by the English clergyman and head-master Edwin A. Abbott, it is the fanciful tale of A. Square, a two-dimensional being who is whisked away by a mysterious visitor to The Land of Three Dimensions, an experience that forever alters his worldview.
		By contemplating the notion of dimensions beyond their own, Abbott's Victorian readers were exposed to the then-radical idea of a fourth dimension-preparing them for Einstein's spectacular theories of relativity.

	Flatland, by E. A. Abbott, 1884
		The usual introductions make it clear that Abbott intended a social satire of Victorian England's society, and an expression of his efforts to advance the cause of education for women and classes lower than the English aristocracy.
		Abbott was a successful theologian, classics scholar, and Shakespeare expert (which explains the Shakespearean references in the frontispiece and several quotations in this book), as well as proficient in mathematics.
		Cogitators of the fourth dimension should be aware that Abbott is not talking about TIME.

		Abbott's charm lies in his ability to write simply and clearly about a topic that has its share of very unreachable, esoteric books.
		You fall into the story (whose plot is by no means secondary to the mathematical ideas), and before you know it you find yourself in contemplation of things like the fourth and fifth dimensions.

	BookkooB : Annotated Flatland, The - Edwin Abbott : Compare Book Prices
		Abbott's Flatland will always remain a classical inspiration for our understanding of higher-dimensional spaces.
		In drawing the analogy of the way that two dimensional people understand three dimensional space, Abbott allows the reader to ponder ways of investigating higher-dimensional space without the baggage of mathematical formalism.
		However as Abbott's age and background are firmly rooted in the latter half of the 19th century, it would be thought that the finer nuances alluded to by the author would pass into obscurity.
