It traces how British attitudes to mountains were transformed by developments both within the new sport of mountaineering and in the wider fin-de-siècle culture. The emergence of the new genre of mountaineering literature, which helped to create a self-conscious community of climbers with broadly shared values, coincided with a range of cultural and scientific trends that also influenced the direction of mountaineering. The author discusses the growing preoccupation with the physical basis of aesthetic sensations, and with physicality and materiality in general; the new interest in the physiology of effort and fatigue; and the characteristically Victorian drive to enumerate, codify, and classify. Examining a wide range of texts, from memoirs and climbing club journals to hotel visitors? books, he argues that the figure known as the ?New Mountaineer? was seen to embody a distinctly modern approach to mountain climbing and mountain aesthetics. . 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Nineteenth-Century Writing and Culture,$x2634-6494 606 $aLiterature, Modern?19th century 606 $aBritish literature 606 $aGreat Britain?History 606 $aNineteenth-Century Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/821000 606 $aBritish and Irish Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/833000 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717020 615 0$aLiterature, Modern?19th century. 615 0$aBritish literature. 615 0$aGreat Britain?History. 615 14$aNineteenth-Century Literature. 615 24$aBritish and Irish Literature. 615 24$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 676 $a796.522 700 $aMcNee$b Alan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01064505 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255227903321 996 $aThe New Mountaineer in Late Victorian Britain$92538647 997 $aUNINA
