This print edition of Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions
contains all of the original and vital illustrations, allowing the
reader to comprehend the geometry described in the satirical story.
First published in the 1880s, Flatland is a playful satire of the
hierarchical class structure which Abbott perceived as defining the
Victorian society in which he lived. The titular country has a
population consisting of different shapes; their shape denotes
their place in the society - the more sides the shape has, and the
more regular their shape, the higher the place they occupy in the
social strata. The ordinary, day-to-day existence of the author (A.
Square) is brought into question when he experiences a dream. In it
a shape with depth, a Sphere, announces its existence and origin in
Spaceland; a place with a third dimension. Thrilled by the
revelation, the Square postulates that perhaps there are actually
four, five or more dimensions constituting the world.
