Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The human story of mountains, before modern mountaineers. Today, mountains are spaces of adventure: hill-walking, skiing, rock-climbing and mountaineering. Mountain regions are treasured as places for human beings to connect with nature, encounter the sublime, and challenge themselves. It has often been said that the love of mountains is relatively new: that before modern mountaineers planted flags upon the peaks, the average European was more likely to revile and avoid a mountainous landscape than admire it. Mountains Before Mountaineering tells a different story, of the way mountains were experienced and enjoyed in Europe before 1750. It gives voice to the early modern travellers who climbed peaks and passes with fear and delight, to the 'real mountaineers' who lived and died upon the mountain slopes, and to the scientists who used mountains to try to understand the origins of the world. AUTHOR: Dawn L. Hollis is a historian and hill-lover, despite being born in low-lying East Anglia. Over the course of her studies and research at Oxford, Cambridge, and St Andrews she became fascinated with the question of how people experienced mountains before the birth of mountaineering. She has spoken and written widely on the topic in academic contexts but has always felt that the stories of her early modern 'friends' deserved to be shared with a wider audience. She lives in Scotland, by the sea, with her family and a nineteenth-century iron printing press. 16 b/w illustrations **The human story of mountains, long before modern mountaineers battled to be first upon their summits** Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: New. Throughout the longue dureé of Western culture, how have people represented mountains as landscapes of the imagination and as places of real experience? In what ways has human understanding of mountains changed - or stayed the same? Mountain Dialogues from Antiquity to Modernity opens up a new conversation between ancient and modern engagements with mountains. It highlights the ongoing relevance of ancient understandings of mountain environments to the postclassical and present-day world, while also suggesting ways in which modern approaches to landscape can generate new questions about premodern responses. It brings together experts from across many different disciplines and periods, offering case studies on topics ranging from classical Greek drama to Renaissance art, and from early modern natural philosophy to nineteenth-century travel writing. Throughout, essays engage with key themes of temporality, knowledge, identity, and experience in the mountain landscape. As a whole, the volume suggests that modern responses to mountains participate in rhetorical and experiential patterns that stretch right back to the ancient Mediterranean. It also makes the case for collaborative, cross-period research as a route both for understanding human relations with the natural world in the past, and informing them in the present.
