Author Biography

Edwin A. Abbott (1838-1926) was an English schoolmaster, theologian, and classical scholar. He graduated from Cambridge University and served as the headmaster of the City of London School for over two decades, where he pioneered advanced modern teaching methods. While he wrote numerous theological and grammatical texts, he is internationally remembered for his 1884 mathematical satire, Flatland. Written under the pseudonym "A Square," the novella brilliantly used geometric dimensions to critique Victorian social hierarchy and expand human imagination regarding higher planes of existence.
