century<\/strong><\/p><p>European forays to mountain summits began in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries with the search for plants and minerals and the study of geology and glaciers. Yet scientists were soon captivated by the enterprise of climbing itself, enthralled with the views and the prospect of \u201cconquering\u201d alpine summits. Inspired by Romantic notions of nature, early mountaineers idealized their endeavors as sublime experiences, all the while deliberately measuring what they saw. As increased leisure time and advances in infrastructure and equipment opened up once formidable mountain regions to those seeking adventure and sport, new models of masculinity emerged that were fraught with tensions. This book examines how written and artistic depictions of nineteenth-century exploration and mountaineering in the Andes, the Alps, and the Sierra Nevada shaped cultural understandings of nature and wilderness in the Anthropocene.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/yalebooks.yale.edu\/book\/9780300231946\/peak-pursuits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VISIT THE PUBLISHER \u2192\u00a0<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2622\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Reviews<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2622\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2622\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><p>&#8220;By bringing new perspectives to foundational texts about mountain experiences from the mid-eighteenth century until World War I, Schaumann offers a new, more ambiguous history of elite mountaineering culture that contains lessons for our current age of human-induced environmental change, the Anthropocene.&#8221;<\/p><p>Marc Landry, <em>Austrian History Yearbook<\/em> (2023)<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>&#8220;I love this book because it does two things that needed to be done: it transforms these ephemeral characters into living, breathing, complicated people, and it transforms their narratives into sophisticated, layered, and challenging literary texts. Why they went to the mountains and what they did when they got there\u2014what they felt, saw, and imagined\u2014does indeed help us to imagine why we need to go the mountains, and what we need to do once we return.&#8221;<\/p><p>Michael Reidy, <em>Agricultural History<\/em> 96.3 (2022)<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>&#8220;Schaumann\u2019s second monograph, Peak Pursuits, could not come soon enough. Not only does she provide a transnational lens with which to view the role of mountains and mountain exploration within the cultural, scientific, and political preoccupations of nineteenth-century Europe (and farther), she also makes impressive use of the literary and artistic expressions that emerged during an age that saw a rush toward mountain ascents.&#8221;<\/p><p>Carmel Heeley, <em>Monatshefte<\/em> 114.3 (2022)<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>&#8220;Schaumann has an elegant, enjoyable flow in her writing\u2014perhaps paralleling her flow in climbing? In any case, she has much to say about the material, physical, and corporeal dimensions of mountaineering history, the relations among body, mind, mountain, and wilderness.&#8221;<\/p><p>Jon Mathieu, <em>Central European History<\/em> 54.2 (2021)\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>&#8220;The most stimulating contribution to current scholarship in mountain studies lies in this book\u2019s exposure of the dimly illuminated spots in the great show that is nineteenth-century mountaineering. <em>Peak Pursuits<\/em> takes interest in the fallen alpinists, the tragedies, the futile climbs, and their social struggles, weakened bodies, and failed marriages.&#8221;<\/p><p>Eva-Maria M\u00fcller, <em>Journal of the Austrian Association for American Studies<\/em> 2.2 (2021)<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>&#8220;Mountaineers like Alexander von Humboldt, Louis Agassiz, and Clarence King were important participants in debates within geology, glaciology, and atmospheric sciences, leaving intellectual legacies that continue to be relevant in the context of the climate crisis. The book also explores other key problems that intersect with mountaineering: gender and sexuality, race, colonialism, and media history are all bound up in its history. Schaumann is a literary scholar by training, and her history is built largely out of close readings of important nineteenth-century mountaineers\u2019 published and unpublished writings, which she reads with both sympathy and sharpness.&#8221;<\/p><p>Alexander Phillips, <em>The German Quarterly<\/em> 94.3 (2021)<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>&#8220;Caroline Schaumann is a professor of German Studies who approaches her topic through insights drawn partly from literary analysis and criticism, but also in a strongly inter-disciplinary way, studying the liminal mountain world through perspectives that range across cultural history, art history, sociology, tourism, gender, philosophy, and geography. Her book is not a standard history of rock climbing but rather a transnational view of the nineteenth-century emergence of mountaineering via the writings and artistic and photographic depictions associated with eleven richly\u2013diverse individuals drawn from Britain, Europe and North America, in a subtle and highly nuanced way.&#8221;<\/p><p>Mike Huggins, <em>Cultural and Social History<\/em> 18.4 (2021)<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2623\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Praise<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2623\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2623\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><p>&#8220;Lyrical and incisive, haunting and urgent, Caroline Schaumann\u2019s <em>Peak Pursuits<\/em> provides an essential reexamination of the history of mountaineering and the resonance of its legacy in our Anthropocene Age.&#8221;<\/p><p>Katie Ives, editor-in-chief of <em>Alpinist<\/em><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>&#8220;A brilliant and beautifully written contribution to the new cultural history of mountaineering.

Literature<\/strong><\/p><p><em>Memory Matters <\/em>(2008) juxtaposes in tripartite structure texts by a child of German bystanders (Wolf), an Austrian-Jewish child-survivor (Kl\u00fcger), a daughter of Jewish \u00e9migr\u00e9s (Honigmann), a daughter of an officer involved in the German resistance (Bruhns), a granddaughter of a baptized Polish Jew (Maron), and a granddaughter of German refuges from East Prussia (D\u00fcckers). Placed outside of the distorting victim-perpetrator, Jewish-German, man-woman, and war-postwar binary, it becomes visible that the texts neither complete nor contradict each other, but respond to one another by means of inspiration, reverberation, refraction, incongruity, and ambiguity. Focusing on genealogies of women, the book delineates a different cultural memory than the counting of (male-inflected) generations and a male-dominated Holocaust and postwar literature canon. It examines intergenerational conflicts and the negotiation of memories against the backdrop of a complicated mother-daughter relationship that follows unpredictable patterns and provokes both discord and empathy. Schaumann\u2019s approach questions the assumption that German-gentile and German-Jewish postwar experiences are necessarily diametrically opposed (i.e. respond to a \u201cnegative symbiosis\u201d) and uncovers intersections and continuities in addition to conflicts.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.degruyter.com\/document\/doi\/10.1515\/9783110206593\/html?lang=en#contents\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">visit the publisher \u2192\u00a0<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-9702\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Reviews<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-9702\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-9702\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><p>&#8220;Schaumann breaks new ground with her approach of juxtaposing German-language texts written by war children and child survivors, by children of victims and of bystanders or perpetrators, and by grandchildren belonging to either category, an intergenerational approach that clearly serves as the framework for her study, that is meant to challenge the institutional memory in post-wall Germany.&#8221;<\/p><p>Christina Guenther, <em>The German Quarterly<\/em> 84.2 (2011)<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>&#8220;<em>Memory Matters<\/em> is a well-conceived and lucidly written study of a topic that continues to garner much attention in public and academic discourses, and especially in literary texts and in literary studies: memories and post-memories of Nazi-Germany and the Holocaust.&#8221;<\/p><p>Friederike Eigler, <em>Zeitschrift f\u00fcr deutsche Philologie<\/em> 129.2 (2010)<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>&#8220;Caroline Schaumann\u2019s volume is a welcome addition to the growing body of research in German studies that highlights the limits of official memory culture and the extent to which literature reflects and shapes the diverse ways in which generational memory and identity continue to \u201cmatter\u201d in post- unification Germany.&#8221;<\/p><p>Brigitte Rossbacher, <em>Monatshefte<\/em> 102.1 (2010)<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>&#8220;As part of her project of revealing memory as palimpsest, Schaumann examines women&#8217;s responses to the Holocaust, analyzing how these women experienced it differently from men.
