In what ways has human understanding of mountains changed - or stayed the same?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMountain Dialogues from Antiquity to Modernity\u003c\/i\u003e opens up a new conversation between ancient and modern engagements with mountains. It highlights the ongoing relevance of ancient understandings of mountain environments to the postclassical and present-day world, while also suggesting ways in which modern approaches to landscape can generate new questions about premodern responses. It brings together experts from across many different disciplines and periods, offering case studies on topics ranging from classical Greek drama to Renaissance art, and from early modern natural philosophy to nineteenth-century travel writing. Throughout, essays engage with key themes of temporality, knowledge, identity, and experience in the mountain landscape. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a whole, the volume suggests that modern responses to mountains participate in rhetorical and experiential patterns that stretch right back to the ancient Mediterranean. It also makes the case for collaborative, cross-period research as a route both for understanding human relations with the natural world in the past, and informing them in the present.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dawn Hollis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350162825\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350162822\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/06\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Dawn Hollis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43983002763519,"sku":"9781350162822","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0dc31b51-1ce5-4652-82a4-760b23576b5d.jpg?v=1683264137","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mountain-dialogues-from-antiquity-to-dawn-hollis-9781350162822","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
