Contents:

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.

Subject: Algebraic Art explores the invention of a peculiarly Victorian account of the nature and value of aesthetic form, and it traces that account to a surprising source: mathematics. Drawing on literature, art, and photography, it explores how the Victorian mathematical conception of form still resonates today.

Algebraic Art explores the invention of a peculiarly Victorian account of the nature and value of aesthetic form, and it traces that account to a surprising source: mathematics. Drawing on literature, art, and photography, it explores how the Victorian mathematical conception of form still resonates today.
