Set against the backdrop of late nineteenth-century Harvard, this imaginative biography explores the life of James Mills Peirce, a respected mathematics professor grappling with his homosexuality. It offers a realistic portrayal of academic life and graduate education, enriched by intimate insights into his romantic relationships. The work not only delves into the history of mathematics but also sheds light on the early gay movement in Europe, making it a valuable read for those interested in both subjects.
