This work explores the evolution of human perception of the Alpine region, examining how the appreciation and understanding of the mountains have transformed over time. It delves into medieval attitudes towards mountains, tracing the evolution of mountaineering from early explorations through to more modern ascents. At the start of the text, Lunn sets the stage by discussing the medieval attitude towards mountains, illustrating the various literary and historical references that shape societal views on Alpine landscapes. He points out that, contrary to popular belief, some people in the Middle Ages did appreciate mountains, even if they were often regarded with fear or indifference. By examining the writings of prominent figures from past eras, Lunn seeks to challenge the notion that mountain admiration was solely a modern phenomenon, framing the early climbers and explorers as pioneers in a growing appreciation for mountain beauty. The opening portion prepares the reader for a deeper understanding of both the physical and cultural significance of the Alps throughout history. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
