The present study is concerned with the history of perception and discourse about the alpine region and its poetic representation in modern German-language literature. It traces the development of cultural perception and literary reflection of the Alps throughout the 20th century on a wealth of texts and explores an unknown side of literary modernity through their “poetics of height”.
