"McNee's contribution to the field of sport literature brings closer attention to the ongoing and shifting nature of the sublime and how mountains were known by mountaineers as well as in climbing literature. Researchers will find reading for mountaineering and physical culture studies and related Victorian British literature and tourism ... the book appeals to readers with interests in aesthetics, science, the sporting body, also revealing the ongoing intrigue of mountains and the sublime." (PearlAnn Reichwein, Journal of Sport History, Vol. 45 (03), 2018)
