English author Edwin Abbott Abbott (1838–1926), best known for the 1884 novella Flatland and for educational texts.

According to the review and public records: Abbott wrote English school textbooks in the late nineteenth century and authored Flatland, a satirical mathematical novella that allegorizes Victorian society while exploring the idea of additional dimensions.

The available review praises Flatland as a witty, precise Victorian satire that uses geometry to explore social hierarchy and higher dimensions. The reviewer highlights Abbott's clear, period language and the book's power to change perspective.

For:Readers of speculative and mathematical fiction, students of Victorian satire, and anyone curious about dimensions.

 Edwin Abbott, a well-known author of English school textbooks of the late nineteenth century, did not think that the only note of merit attributed to him in our time would be this magnificent booklet.
