- This 120,000-word monograph is the product of ten years’ research and writing. It is the first full-length study of the relationship between mountaineering and British literature of the Romantic period. Reading the work of several canonical writers alongside a wide range of other texts, the book reassesses key Romantic-period ideas, including vision, insight, elevation, revelation, transcendence and the sublime. In the words of Oxford University Press’s anonymous readers, the book is ‘a pioneer in Romantic studies’, which is ‘likely to become a standard work’, opening ‘a new field for other scholars and students to explore in their own ways’.
