Edwin Abbott Abbott

    20 décembre 1838 – 12 octobre 1926

    Edwin Abbott Abbott fut un pédagogue et théologien anglais, dont l'œuvre la plus célèbre est la satire mathématique Flatland. Abbott a exploré de profondes questions philosophiques et théologiques à travers ses écrits, utilisant souvent des formes littéraires non conventionnelles pour examiner ces thèmes. Son travail philologique représente également une contribution significative aux études de la langue anglaise. Sa production littéraire s'étend au-delà de la satire pour inclure des romans religieux publiés anonymement et des discussions théologiques qui ont suscité un débat considérable.
