- This 316-page monograph in nine chapters exploring how ramblers and mountaineers debated the meaning of progress and civilization is revised and expanded from a PhD completed in 2011 and has been nearly twelve years in the making. Using extensive and under-exploited archival sources from Britain and continental Europe, it uses a transnational perspective, comparing and contrasting men and women from Germany, Britain and German-speaking Austria-Hungary, it argues that 'conquering' the landscape was not merely about assimilating the Alps or other regions to a national project.
