 | | This book, Flatland, has undergone several periods of popularity, including our present day, when five new editions have appeared in as many years and when several authors have written new books with Flatland as their inspiration. | | | Abbott specifically identifies Candler as 'the H.C. to whom Flatland wasdedicated' in the introduction to one of his theology volumes written just after Candler died in 1916, and the first edition in the Trinity College library, donated by one of Candler's grandsons, is inscribed simply 'To H.C., in particular'. | | | It is easy to imagine a series of letters in which Candler mentions to his friend the ideas of this new science master, Hinton, and their relevance to some of the theological and philosophical notions which they have been discussing. |

| | Flatland, as he describes it, is about as rich as a two-dimensional story can be. | | | This book "flatland" is one of my favorite books of all time. | | | The trips to Lineland, Pointland, and Spaceland illustrate the stubbornness of mankind and the irony of that stubbornness. |

| | Flatland: A romance of many dimensions |
| | I presume it is describable in the language of Flatland. | | | Well, that is my fate: and it is as natural for us Flatlanders to lock up a Square for preaching the Third Dimension, as it is for you Spacelanders to lock up a Cube for preaching the Fourth. | | | It is true that we have really in Flatland a Third unrecognized Dimension called `height,' just as it is also true that you have really in Spaceland a Fourth unrecognized Dimension, called by no name at present, but which I will call `extra-height'. |

| | Flatland (English version) |
| | What makes "Flatland" fun to read, is that it is a popular scientific work and a social satire at the same time. | | | All inhabitants of Flatland are geometrical figures, regular or irregular. | | | When, however, he concludes that there should be even more dimensions than these, he runs into an argument with the Sphere, who appears to be very short-sighted in these matters. |

| | Abbott's novel may be a mathematical fairy tale, but these lines (and Lines) are telling. | | | Near the end of Edwin A. Abbott's novel Flatland, a Romance of Many Dimensions (1884), a curious conversation occurs between two shapes, a two-dimensional Square and a three-dimensional Sphere: | | | As Marcel Duchamp himself admits, "the fourth dimension became a thing you talked about, without knowing what it meant" -- it is an exercise in signification (Dialogues 24). |

| | Abbott, for example, describes the greeting process of flatlanders as "feeling" but his depictions of Flatland inhabitants are merely geometrical shapes with no appendages (arms, legs) with which to feel. | | | After reading the story I found out more about the role of women in the time that Flatland was written. | | | This is the classic example of mathematical fiction in which the author helps us to think about the meaning of "dimension" through fictional example: a visit to a world with only two spatial dimensions. |

| | Kickflipping is one of the flashiest moves in modern flatland, along with the turbined tricks. | | | Flatland riding is usually a combination of many different kinds of moves, often linked together in a non-stop fashion as the rider goes through as few as 2 or 3, or as many as 10-12 moves, and position or direction changes in a row, and then finally returning their feet to the pedals. | | | Some flatland riders would refer to flatland as a type of art, and would place the emphasis on being original, while others consider having the most or hardest tricks the important thing, and still others ride just for fun. |
