The essays are inspired by discussions among members of various Alpine clubs based in Oxford, focusing on the emotional and metaphysical relationships people have with mountains. The work suggests that despite the age of mountaineering and the many climbs achieved, there remains ample opportunity for literary and artistic exploration of the mountains’ significance. The opening of the collection includes a preface from Arnold Lunn, detailing the inspiration behind the essays, which stemmed from a conversational gathering at an Oxford tea-party. He expresses a yearning to convey a subjective appreciation of the mountain experience, striving to capture not just the physical challenges but the deeper meanings these landscapes hold for youth and adventure. The editor introduces the contributors, highlighting their personal reflections and emphasizing their lack of pretension or groundbreaking ascents, thereby inviting the reader to engage with the evocative narratives and insights into human connection with nature found throughout the essays.
