Following the precedent and standards set by the Baedeker guides,
travel literature enjoyed great popularity during the later
nineteenth century. This guidebook to the Alps, written by Hermann
Alexander Berlepsch (1814? 83) and translated from German by the
renowned author and mountaineer Leslie Stephen (1832 1904), was
first published in English in 1861. This was during the golden age
of alpinism, when many major peaks were ascended for the first
time. While later mountaineers concentrated on climbing as a sport,
earlier expeditions were of a more scientific nature; this
guidebook, which provides detailed information pertaining to the
geology, flora and fauna of the Alps, is a reflection of this
ambition. Also containing descriptions of village life and Alpine
customs, it enjoyed a significant readership in its day and was
also translated into French. It remains an instructive work in the
history of alpinism and travel writing.
