Description
In the 18th century, mountains shifted from being universally reviled obstacles to trade and progress, to the most inspiring natural phenomena on earth. Simply put, the monsters became muses and an entire artistic movement - the Sublime - was born. In his compelling new book, Simon Ingram explores how mountains became such a preoccupation for the modern western imagination, weaving his own adventures on British mountains into a powerful and compelling narrative.
