"As a prelude to her analysis of modern art in France, Italy, Russia, Holland, and America, author provides a history of the popularization of the n-dimensional and non-Euclidean geometries during the nineteenth century. In particular, discusses writers who developed the philosophical and mystical implications of higher spatial dimensions and traces their influence on the major art movements of the period.
