Though most widely known today as the author of Flatland, a Victorian social satire and introduction to higher-dimensional geometry, Edwin Abbott Abbott (1838 - 1926) was also for twenty-five years the tireless headmaster of The City of London School, where he wrote A Shakespearian Grammar to help students understand the differences between Elizabethan and modern syntax. It is still the most complete work on the subject.
