| Summary: | This article explores the crossing of mountain passes in British novels dating from the turn to the end of the 19th century. This experience is identified as a phase of liminality, a transitory period during which the characters, having lost both their landmarks and their identity will find out who they are through an ordeal in the mountains. In exploring these novels using both pragmatics and human geography we meanwhile seek to show how much characters contribute to the framing of the mountains. Thus, poetics is here conceived as the very material the mountains are made of and it defines them as spaces in movement. |
