Abstract
We give a new version of W. L. Edge’s construction of the linear system of plane sextics containing Wiman’s sextic, by means of configuration space of 5 points on projective line. This construction reveals out more of the inner beauty of the hidden geometry of Wiman’s sextic. Furthermore, it allows one to give a friendly proof for the fact that the linear system is actually a pencil, the fact that is important in both Edge’s and our constructions.
