Kirkman's work in the nineteenth century presaged many of the topics in modern Combinatorics. This book is a biography of Kirkman's life and it does not dwell on the technicalities of advanced mathematics, and hopefully it will appeal to the non-mathematician. This biography is the biography of a Victorian polymath active in mathematics, philosophy, as well as his being a social activist with controversial views.

Crilly, Tony: - There is no other full length biography of Kirkman. This could be seen as linked to my previous biography of the mathematician Arthur Cayley (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2007) and in the same time period of other of my writings of Robert Leslie Ellis (1817-1859) (Springer 2020), Sir John Herschel (1792-1871) (Cambridge University Press 2024) and William Whewell (1794-1866) (University of Pittsburg Press, 2024).
