Summary
The 20th century saw the development of many of the key concepts and theories in algebraic geometry. However, the evolution of style and approach over time has rendered the original texts challenging for modern readers to decipher. Bridging the gap between classical and modern algebraic geometry, this book explains classical results using modern tools and language.
The second edition has undergone significant expansion. This first volume includes an extensive look at the enumerative g…

Critics Review
‘The first edition of this book has become the absolute reference for the treatment of classical algebraic geometry in modern terms. The new edition brings a series of important complements on most chapters, in particular on congruences of lines and quartic surfaces. In total this makes a very rich and complete book on the subject.’ Arnaud Beauville, Professeur émérite, Université Côte d’Azur
