Download or read book Untrodden Peaks and Unfrequented Valleys written by Amelia B. Edwards and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-26 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Untrodden Peaks and Unfrequented Valleys: A Midsummer Ramble in the Dolomites The district described in the following pages occupies that part of South-eastern Tyrol which lies between Botzen, Bruneck, Innichen, and Belluno. Within the space thus roughly indicated are found those remarkable lime-stone mountains called the Dolomites. Till within the last six or eight years - that is to say, till the publication of Ball's Guide to the Eastern Alps in 1868, and the appearance of Messrs. Gilbert and Churchill's joint volume in 1864, - the Dolomite district was scarcely known even by name to any but scientific travellers. A few geologists found their way now and then to Predazzo; a few artists, attracted in the first instance to Cadore, as the birth-place of Titian, carried their sketch-books up the Ampezzo Thal; but there it ended. Even now, the general public is so slightly informed upon the subject that it is by no means uncommon to find educated persons who have never heard of the Dolomites at all, or who take them for a religious sect, like the Mormons or the Druses.

Book Topographic Memory and Victorian Travellers in the Dolomite Mountains

Download or read book Topographic Memory and Victorian Travellers in the Dolomite Mountains written by William Bainbridge and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-08 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guided by the romantic compass of Byron, Ruskin, and Turner, Victorian travellers to the Dolomites sketched in the mountainous backdrop of Venice a cultural 'Petit Tour' of global significance. As they zigzagged across a debatable land between Italy and Austria, Victorians discovered a unique geography characterized by untrodden peaks and unfrequented valleys. The discovery of this landscape blended aesthetic, scientific, and cultural values utterly different from those engendered by the bombastic conquests of the Western Alps achieved during the 'Golden Age of Mountaineering'. Filtered through memories of the Venetian Grand Tour, their encounter with the Dolomites is revealed through a series of distinct cultural practices that paradigmatically define a 'Silver Age of Mountaineering'. These practices reveal a range of geographic concerns that are more ethnographic than imperialistic, more feminine than masculine, more artistic than sportive - rather than racing to summits, the Silver Age is about rambling, rather than conquering peaks, it is about sketching them in a fully articulated interaction with the Dolomite landscape.

Book Women Rewriting Boundaries

Download or read book Women Rewriting Boundaries written by Precious McKenzie Stearns and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-12-14 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women Rewriting Boundaries expands the work of gender and literary scholars by offering fresh insights on how to read travel writing by women. It analyzes the connections between class, gender, physicality, and sexuality as found in nineteenth-century literature. The authors discuss the myriad ways in which women writers reinforced and challenged Victorian social norms. Inspired by a special topics panel, “Women Writing Boundaries,” presented at the 2013 Rocky Mountain Modern Language Association’s annual convention, this edited collection will be a thought-provoking resource for college- level humanities and gender studies students and their instructors.
