This collection of original essays is written entirely by Wesleyan University students of art history. The essays examine how artistic representation of mountains has varied through the lens of specific depictions in English and American literature, and consider how images of mountains functioned in conjunction with religion, the sublime, and Romanticism. These essays by student authors adeptly ruminate on works by individuals such as William Wordsworth, John Frederick Kensett, Alexander van Humboldt, Emil Nolde, and Arnold Fanck. Includes an introduction by professor Peter Mark and a helpful appendix of the course syllabus and narrative description.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Mark\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0819577294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780819577290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wesleyan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/03\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.33d","brand":"Peter Mark","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926500016383,"sku":"9780819577290","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_02c2eb17-834f-4d07-b9f9-cf13d212f9fb.jpg?v=1681083419","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-mountains-in-art-history-peter-mark-9780819577290","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
