Description

This volume contains two classic speculations on life in the fourth dimension and life in curved space. Since its publication in England a century ago, "Flatland" has provided readers with a witty satire of Victorian society and its unique insights, by analogy, into the fourth dimension. In "Sphereland", written as a sequel to Abbott's classic, the grandson of "Flatland"'s narrator is confronted with even greater dimensionality problems - curved space.

Author Biography:

Edwin Abbott Abbott (1838-1926) has been ranked as one of the leading scholars and theologians of the Victorian era. He received highest honors in mathematics, classics, and theology at St. John's College, Cambridge, and in 1862 began a brilliant career, during which he served as schoolmaster of some of England's outstanding schools. At the same time he distinguished himself as a scholar, and in 1889 he retired to his studies. Although Flatland, a literary jeu d'esprit, has given pleasure to thousands of readers over many generations, Abbott is best known for his scholarly works, especially his Shakespearian Grammar and his life of Francis Bacon, and for a number of theological discussions.
