Description Argues that Edwin Abbott's Flatland “can be viewed as part of Abbott's longstanding effort to expose what he regarded as the fallacies in Newman's theology, especially his appropriation of the analogical and probabilistic reasoning of Bishop Joseph Butler's Analogy of Religion (1736). Such a perspective further broadens the intellectual, social, and religious context in which Flatland and Abbott's Newman writings are located by demonstrating their role in Victorian debates over the status of Newman and Butler and in the various constructions and uses of probability.”
