Book excerpt: The story of the first ascents of many of Norway's most dramatic peaks, Slingsby's book is still a very relevant guidebook to many Norwegian mountain areas today. Slingsby was one of the leading climbers of his generation, climbing in Britain and the Alps, and he is still held in the highest regard in Norway as the father of Norwegian mountaineering. In contrast to many areas of the Alps, the Norse mountains have been spared the same proliferation of telepheriques and ski resorts; and so many of the corries and peaks are still in the same wilderness condition as when Slingsby first climbed them. Norway: The Northern Playground has long been regarded by many as an indispensable work on the region. So, if you're looking for the English language overview of the Norwegian mountains or just an exciting ripping yarn to while away a long winter's night, this book cannot be recommended enough. The revised 2003 edition will have a new introduction written by Tony Howard, renowned for the first successful ascent of Troll Wall and latterly, the desert climbs of Wadi Rum.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Norway, the Northern Playground: Sketches of Climbing and Mountain Exploration in Norway Between 1872 and 1903 For over twenty years I have received letters regularly every spring from persons desirous of obtaining information about the mountains in Norway, the answering of which has afforded me much pleasure. On their return, my friends invariably wrote to tell me of their doings, and thus I have had an almost unique opportunity of noting the growth of the sport of mountaineering in the country and of realising that it is now established on a firm and an enduring basis, and that Norway has become recognised amongst mountaineers all the world over as one of our great playgrounds. Many have asked me to write a book on general climbing in the country; at last I yielded to the temptation, the result of which is embodied in this volume. Some friends wished me to keep well above the snow-line and to leave the fjords alone. This advice I have ignored, and have tried instead to interest the general tourist.

This book was released on 2014-12-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Gamle Norge and Nineteenth-Century British Women Travellers in Norway’ presents an account of the development of tourism in nineteenth-century Norway and considers the ways in which women travellers depicted their travels to the region. Tracing the motivations of various groups of women travellers, such as sportswomen, tourists and aristocrats, this book argues that in their writing, Norway forms a counterpoint to Victorian Britain: a place of freedom and possibility.
Download or read book The Northern Utopia written by Peter Fjågesund and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-11-22 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the nineteenth century, the ancient ‘filial tie’ between Britain and Norway was rediscovered by a booming tourist industry which took thousands across the North Sea to see the wonders of the fjords, the fjelds, and the beauties of the North Cape. This illustrated volume, for the first time, collects together vivid – and predominantly first-hand – impressions of the country recorded by nearly two hundred British travellers and other commentators, including Thomas Malthus, Charlotte Brontë, Lord Tennyson, and William Gladstone. In a rich selection of travel writing, fiction, poetry, journalism, political speeches, and art, Norway emerges as a refreshingly natural utopia, happily free from her imperial neighbour’s increasing problems with the side-effects of industrialisation. This is a fascinating examination of the people, institutions, customs, language and environment of Norway seen through the eyes of the British. Using the tools of literary and historical scholarship, Fjågesund and Symes set these perceptions in their nineteenth-century context, throwing light on such issues as progress, art and aesthetics, democracy, religion, nationhood, race, class, and gender, all of which occupied Europe at the time. The Northern Utopia will be of particular interest to students of British and Scandinavian cultural history, literature and travel writing. It will also enthral all those who love Norway.
