On célèbre en 1986 le bicentenaire de la conquête du mont Blanc, l'événement fondateur de l'alpinisme moderne. Pourtant, avant d'être découvert puis vaincu, le mont Blanc a dû être inventé. Philippe Joutard raconte ici la longue histoire de la haute montagne dans la sensibilité des hommes. Longtemps domaine maudit, interdit à leurs entreprises, la montagne entre dans l'imaginaire européen à la fin du Moyen Age : curiosité scientifique, goût du risque, esthétique de la démesure mêlant des sentiments d'horreur et de beauté font d'elle, désormais, un lieu d'investissement privilégié. Des abîmes aux glaciers, des glaciers aux sommets, voici l'invention d'un paysage affectif et moral.

Dans la collection fabuleuse de gravures, lithographies, peintures, dessins rassemblée par le Chamoniard Paul Payot (1912-1977), le " royaume du Mont-Blanc " mire à l'infini le spectacle changeant de ses splendeurs. Cet ouvrage, fruit de dix ans de recherches, propose un choix de plus de quatre cents œuvres dues au talent d'artistes des XVIIIe et XIXe siècles. " Portrait " après " portrait ", le Mont-Blanc se découvre sous les masques inconnus, nouveaux et fascinants dont l'imaginaire des pionniers du " voyage aux glacières " l'a paré. " Sublime " ou " horrible ", séducteur ou redouté, " paradis terrestre " ou repaire de démons, le Mont-Blanc obsède et enchante. Qu'il éblouisse ou qu'il terrifie, il reste toujours magique. L'homme rêve la montagne ? Sans doute. Mais la montagne sécrète le rêve, insufflant aux crayons et pinceaux la féerie bleutée des glaces, le " romantisme " hérissé des pics, le charme des pastorales verdoyantes... Paul Guichonnet, Philippe Joutard, Hugues Lebailly, Marie-Christine Vellozzi et Marie-Thérèse Vercken, en présentant et commentant ces gravures, content l'étrange roman de ce qu'on a pu appeler l'invention du Mont-Blanc, la métamorphose du mont Maudit (comme le baptisent les documents les plus anciens) ignoré des indigènes, mal situé par une cartographie incertaine, desservi par l'arrondi bon enfant de sa coupole sommitale, en ce mont Blanc tardivement reconnu souverain, follement courtisé ensuite aux dépens de l'Oberland bernois et des glaciers suisses qu'il a éclipsés, et tout auréolé de légende.

This edited volume gathers together studies examining various aspects of physical culture in literature written in French from Europe and around the Francophone world. We define physical culture as the systematic care for and development of the physique, and interpret it to include not only sport in the modern sense, but also all the athletic activities that preceded it or relate to it, such as bodily forms of exercise, leisure, and artistic creation. Our essays pursue diverse interpretive approaches and focus on texts from a wide variety of periods (medieval to the present) and genres (short stories, novels, essays, poetry) in order to consider the fundamental-yet highly neglected-place of physical activities in literature and culture from the French-speaking world. Some of the questions the essays explore include: Does the genre sports literature exist in French, and if so, what are its characteristics? How do governments or other political entities mobilize sports literature? What role do narratives about sports-especially the creation of teams-play in the construction of national, regional and/or local identities? How is physical culture used in literary works for pedagogical or ideological purposes? To what extent do sports performances provide a metaphorical and figurative discourse for discussing literature and culture?

The history of mountaineering has long served as a metaphor for civilization triumphant. Once upon a time, the Alps were an inaccessible habitat of specters and dragons, until heroic men—pioneers of enlightenment—scaled their summits, classified their strata and flora, and banished the phantoms forever. A fascinating interdisciplinary study of the first ascents of the major Alpine peaks and Mount Everest, The Summits of Modern Man surveys the far-ranging significance of our encounters with the world’s most alluring and forbidding heights. Our obsession with “who got to the top first” may have begun in 1786, the year Jacques Balmat and Michel-Gabriel Paccard climbed Mont Blanc and inaugurated an era in which Romantic notions of the sublime spurred climbers’ aspirations. In the following decades, climbing lost its revolutionary cachet as it became associated instead with bourgeois outdoor leisure. Still, the mythic stories of mountaineers, threaded through with themes of imperialism, masculinity, and ascendant Western science and culture, seized the imagination of artists and historians well into the twentieth century, providing grist for stage shows, poetry, films, and landscape paintings. Today, we live on the threshold of a hot planet, where melting glaciers and rising sea levels create ambivalence about the conquest of nature. Long after Hillary and Tenzing’s ascent of Everest, though, the image of modern man supreme on the mountaintop retains its currency. Peter Hansen’s exploration of these persistent images indicates how difficult it is to imagine our relationship with nature in terms other than domination.

Bringing together leading scholars from the USA, UK and Europe, this is the first substantial study of the seminal influence of Jean-Jacques Rousseau on British Romanticism. Reconsidering Rousseau's connection to canonical Romantic authors such as Wordsworth, Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley, Jean-Jacques Rousseau and British Romanticism also explores his impact on a wide range of literature, including anti-Jacobin fiction, educational works, familiar essays, nature writing and political discourse. Convincingly demonstrating that the relationship between Rousseau's thought and British Romanticism goes beyond mere reception or influence to encompass complex forms of connection, transmission and appropriation, Jean-Jacques Rousseau and British Romanticism is a vital new contribution to scholarly understanding of British Romantic literature and its transnational contexts.

When tourists travel, they often seek the exotic. The farther they venture, the more unique the cultures they gaze upon, the greater the prestige accrued; cross-cultural contact is commonplace. Yet despite the obviously transnational character of the tourist experience, national borders define existing studies of tourism. Spanish, French, or German tourism is treated almost in isolation and there are only hints of a larger transnational impetus behind the creation of national tourism products. This volume tells a different story. Although modern tourism first evolved in Europe changes were never confined to national borders. The Grand Tour, the birthplace of modern tourism, was consummately transnational in both its execution and its influence. Although seaside resorts originated in Britain, the aesthetic and scientific ideas that made beaches desirable emerged through conversation among Dutch painters, English travellers, and both British and Continental scientists and philosophers. When travel was finally available to the masses, Irish tourism advocates looked to England, Continental Europe, and America for ideas. The Nazi leisure organization, Strength through Joy (KdF), was based on an earlier Italian model, the Dopolavoro. World's Fair promoters raided previous fairs in other countries for ideas. European-wide demand and taste helped shape nudist practice in France and beyond. At every turn, practices and products developed because tourism lent itself to trans-national discourse. The contributors examine a wide range of topics that together make a powerful argument for the adoption of a new transnational model for understanding modern tourism. An essential addition to the library of academics studying the history of tourism, popular culture and leisure in Europe, the book will also provide interest to scholars of transnational topics, including Europeanization and globalization.
