Geometry. Math for math's sake: non-Euclidean geometry and aestheticism -- Alegbra. Symbolic logic and the logic of symbolism -- Analysis. Magic mirrors: formalist realism in Victorian physics and photography -- Analogy. The physics and poetics of analogy -- Invariant forms. "[T]he bonds of verse": form as discipline -- Coda: "[T]o bury Euclid deep in the living flesh.
