Flatland, Edwin Abbott Abbott s story of a two-dimensional
universe, as told by one of its inhabitants who is introduced to
the mysteries of three-dimensional space, has enjoyed an enduring
popularity from the time of its publication in 1884. This fully
annotated edition enables the modern-day reader to understand and
appreciate the many dimensions of this classic satire. Mathematical
notes and illustrations enhance the usefulness of Flatland as an
elementary introduction to higher-dimensional geometry. Historical
notes show connections to late-Victorian England and to classical
Greece. Citations from Abbott s other writings as well as the works
of Plato and Aristotle serve to interpret the text. Commentary on
language and literary style includes numerous definitions of
obscure words. An appendix gives a comprehensive account of the
life and work of Flatland s remarkable author."
