Man(kind) VS. Mountain
89
5 Any discussion o f mountains and Romanticism should involve reference to the classic
Mountain Gloom and Mountain Glory' by Marjorie Nicolson.
6 For discussions o f the seashell controversy, as old as Xenophon, 6th cent. B.C., cf.
“Geology Landscapes/* http://www.lairweb.org.nz/Leonardo/landscape.html. Also see

7 If the reader will grant the truth o f my claim that one o f the most pervasive o f all
American popular-culture phenomena is our fascination with westerns ( European Culture
in a Changing World), I need to point out that most westerns, verbal or cinematic, are
played out among mountains.
