Edwin Abbott Abbott

    20 de diciembre de 1838 – 12 de octubre de 1926

    Edwin Abbott Abbott fue un educador y teólogo inglés, cuya obra más celebrada es la sátira matemática Flatland. Abbott exploró profundas cuestiones filosóficas y teológicas a través de sus escritos, utilizando a menudo formas literarias poco convencionales para examinar estos temas. Su labor filológica también representa una contribución significativa a los estudios del idioma inglés. Su producción literaria se extiende más allá de la sátira para incluir novelas religiosas publicadas anónimamente y discusiones teológicas que generaron un considerable debate.
