Mountaineering and British Romanticism: The Literary Cultures of Climbing, 1770-1836
Bainbridge, Simon (Professor of Romantic Studies, University of Lancaster)
This volume argues that mountaineering developed as a pursuit in Britain during the Romantic era, earlier than is generally recognised, and shows how writers including William and Dorothy Wordsworth, Ann Radcliffe, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, John Keats, and Walter Scott were central to the activity's evolution.
