Autorenporträt
Edwin Abbott Abbott (20 December 1838 - 12 October 1926) was an English schoolmaster and theologian, most famous for his work in literature and known scholarly prowess. Born in London, Abbott was educated at the City of London School and St John's College, Cambridge, where he excelled in classics. He eventually became headmaster of the City of London School. A man of diverse interests and deep knowledge, Abbott's literary style combined his religious commitment and his fascination with social issues and scientific paradigms. His most renowned work is 'Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions' (1884), a satirical novella that explores the concept of dimensions and has become a classic in speculative fiction. Abbott ventured into theological controversy with his book 'Silanus the Christian' (1908), which depicts the spiritual journey of a Roman nobleman. This work reflects Abbott's adherence to the liberal theological thought that characterizes many of his texts, contributing a subtle exploration of Christian beliefs in alignment with the progressive religious scholarship of his time. His writing reflects a commitment to explore complex theological and philosophical themes through narrative, characterized by his astute critical thinking and comprehensive understanding of Victorian society's intellectual currents.
