Annotated Content This fully annotated edition of "Flatland" includes: Historical Context - Detailed 19th Century Analysis This Classic Masterpiece Belongs on Every Bookshelf! Edwin Abbott's satirical novella Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions was first published in London in 1884. The novella, written under the pseudonym "A Square," uses the hypothetical two-dimensional world of Flatland to reflect on the ranking of the Victorian society, but its more enduring contribution is its exploration of dimensions. Sneak Peek “I call our world Flatland, not because we call it so, but to make its nature clearer to you, my happy readers, who are privileged to live in Space. Imagine a vast sheet of paper on which straight Lines, Triangles, Squares, Pentagons, Hexagons, and other figures, instead of remaining fixed in their places, move freely about, on or in the surface, but without the power of rising above or sinking below it, very much like shadows—only hard and with luminous edges—and you will then have a pretty correct notion of my country and countrymen.” Summary Since its initial publication in 1884, the science fiction classic Flatland, which introduced relativity and hyperspace, has been a favorite among underground readers. With wry comedy and cutting humor, Flatland sends us on a mind-expanding journey into a distant universe and offers us a fresh perspective on our own. The tragic conclusion of the book results in a fantastic satire of Victorian culture.
