Edwin Abbott and Flatland

Edwin Abbott was an English theologian, educator, and author, born in London in 1838. After a brilliant career at St. John's College, Cambridge, Abbott obtained a fellowship, was master at King Edward's School, Birmingham and at Clifton College, and from 1865 to 1889 was headmaster of the City of London School. During that time he wrote several theological works, a biography of Francis Bacon, and a standard Shakespearian Grammar. But his best-known work is Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, written pseudonymously by A. Square in 1884.
