"Insightful and informative, Victorians in the Mountains is an impressively researched and delightfully written book. It will be of interest not only to scholars of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century British literature and culture, but also to those interested in the history of mountain climbing."
-Linda M. Austin, Oklahoma State University, USA
"Impressively original and comprehensive. This account of the role that mountains played in the British imagination throughout the Victorian period challenges many preconceptions, showing how an invasion of climbers and tourists transformed Romantic ideas of the sublime. Spirited, irreverent and always well-informed, Colley sheds new light on a complex and important topic."
-Dinah Birch, University of Liverpool, UK 
"Having challenged some common assumptions about the Victorians and mountains in general [...] Colley focuses on the mountain experiences of three important literary figures, devoting one chapter each to John Ruskin, Gerard Manley Hopkins, and Robert Louis Stevenson. Among its many insights, Colley's study helps us to grasp from a new angle the physical nature of understanding for these three figures. She adds to current debates on all three by offering a nuanced interpretation of how seeing and being within the mountain landscapes affected the writing of each... [A] delightful yet scholarly study..."
-Modern Language Review
"... Recommended.
- Choice 
"... Colley is to be applauded for providing an insight into rich and neglected archives which shed light not only on mountaineering, but the philosophical, ideological and patriotic notions through which it is constituted and understood."
-Studies in Travel Writing 
"Colley expertly weaves an abundance of primary and scholarly sources into her own writing. Thus, readers will find the chapters helpful in examining particulars of Victorian culture and well-known writers of the time."
- Gregg W. Heitschmidt, Surry Community College
