"Ce livre participe à la question de l'écriture des mathématiques, de leur hermérisme, de leur inutilité aussi bien, qu'on la prenne au sens métaphysique de Blaise Pascal, ou au sens pragmatique de l'application que nous imposent aujourd'hui certains tenants des algorithmes. Et je pourrais ici citer quelques phrases, involontairement à la Lautréamont, de quelques manuels présentant les Big Data comme la panacée. Au contraire, dans ce livre s'impose la référence à Jacques Roubaud poète et mathématicien et historien critique, et l'allusion à Yves Bonnefoy. Il y a k parcours de la galerie de génies tels Galois. Et les réflexions de Leopardi, ou de Malherbe, parmi tant d'autres. Cet ouvrage se débarrasse du genre de l'anthologie, pour accéder, grâce à trois voix bien différentes mais parallèles, à une réflexion qui n'évite pas la question de l'esthétique et du sublime, et n'en fait pas l'objet d'une dissertation imposée en classe de terminale. Est en jeu l'invention humaine, Sa construction ou tout aussi bien sa découverte, mais en plus la façon dont l'inventeur aussi bien que le lecteur se les approprient. Avec le beau dilemme de savoir si doivent se louer k résultat ou la façon de le trouver ou de le retrouver, problème qui touche chacun de nous, mathématicien ou non, poète ou non."--Page 4 of cover.

Modernism in mathematics this unusual notion turns out to provide a new perspective on central questions in and beyond literary modernism. Contrasting 'mathematical fictions' from and about the heyday of mathematical modernism, this book relates literary engagements with mathematical modernism to the wider context of modernist critiques of Enlightenment values and postmodern reassessments of modernist patterns. The analysis of canonical works by Thomas Pynchon, Hermann Broch, and Robert Musil demonstrates how mathematics is accorded a central role as a particularly telling indicator of modernist transformations, and how imaginative illustrations contribute to establishing mathematics as part of modernist culture. In its interdisciplinary exploration of modernist interrelations between the surprisingly closely related fields of mathematics and literature, the book draws on prose works by mathematicians, research in the history and philosophy of mathematics, and literary scholarship.

'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.
