Summary: "Etna: A History of the Mountain and of its Eruptions" by G. F. Rodwell is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the extensive history of Mount Etna, exploring its geological features, legendary eruptions, and the cultural significance it has held over millennia. It aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of one of the most famous volcanoes in the world. The opening of the book introduces the author’s intention of filling a notable gap in the English literature regarding Mt. Etna, which had previously only been covered in encyclopedic entries. Rodwell dedicates his work to his mother and acknowledges numerous contributors to his research, including experts and local consuls who provided valuable insights. He outlines the structure of the book, focusing first on the historical references from ancient writers and their mythical associations with the mountain, which highlight its enduring presence in human history and imagination. As he describes the mountain's grandeur, its scientific observations, and its eruptions over recorded history, Rodwell sets the stage for a detailed examination of both the physical and cultural impacts of this awe-inspiring natural phenomenon.
