In Memoriam 115
IN MEMORIAM 115 • IN MEMORIAM CLAUDE WILSON 1860-1937 THE death of Claude Wilson within a few weeks of attaining his seventy-seventh birthday came as a terrible shock to his many friends. Few of us even knew that he was ill, but in the manner of his passing none can regret that there was no lingering illness. We can but quote his own words in Lord Conway's obituary: 'the best we can wish for those that we love is that they may be spared prolonged and hopeless ill health.' His brain remained clear up to the last twenty-four hours and he suffered no pain. The end occurred on October 31. With Claude Wilson's death an epoch of mountaineering comes to an end. He was of those who made guideless and Alpine history from Montenvers in the early 'nineties, of whom but Collie, Kesteven, Bradby, ~olly and Charles Pasteur still survive. That school, in which Mummery and Morse were perhaps the most prominent examples, was not composed of specialists. Its members had learnt their craft under the best Valais and Oberland guides; they were equally-proficient on rocks or on snow. It mattered little who was acting as leader in the ascent or last man in the descent. They were prepared to turn back if conditions or weather proved unfavourable. They took chances as all mountaineers are forced to do at times but no fatal accidents, no unfortunate incidents, marred that great page of Alpine history, a page not confined to Mont Blanc alone but distributed throughout the Western Alps.

Snowshoes trails Abondance valley, Evian region and Morgins Thollon - Bernex - Abondance La Chapelle d’Abondance - Châtel - Morgins IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS To find your bearings, this guide does not replace a real mountaineering map of the area which you can find in bookstore or tourist office. The ski resorts of Evian region, Abondance valley and Morgins offer around 100 kilometers of marked trails to discover the winter nature in all its beauty and diversity. These itineraries, some of which cross the Franco-Swiss border, have been designed to cater for as many persons as possible, ranging from short, one-hour walks to more rugged 4 to 5 hour hikes. Whatever your level, snowshoe rambles are an ideal and enjoyable way to share special moments with family or friends in the heart of the Alps. These beautiful trails in the forest or in uncovered areas are accessible to everyone - on condition that you have adequate equipment, such as appropriate clothing and protection from the sun and snow. Local sports shops will advise you on the right gear to hire. Winter is hard for animal life. Don’t overestimate your capabilities and leave yourself plenty of time to get home. Please do not disturb Night falls very quickly in winter! Also, take something to drink with you (hot, them and keep dogs preferably) and something to eat. Remember to take your identity papers with on a leash. you if you are going to cross the border. For security reasons, respect the signs installed and do not venture outside marked routes. Useful numbers Before an outing, get informed on itineraries opening conditions, TOURIST OFFICES EMERGENCY SERVICES weather conditions and avalanche bulletins, at tourist offices or town Thollon 04 50 70 90 01 France 18 halls.

Mont Blanc in British Literary Culture 1786 – 1826
Mont Blanc in British Literary Culture 1786 – 1826 Carl Alexander McKeating Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Leeds School of English May 2020 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. The right of Carl Alexander McKeating to be identified as Author of this work has been asserted by Carl Alexander McKeating in accordance with the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. Acknowledgements I am grateful to Frank Parkinson, without whose scholarship in support of Yorkshire-born students I could not have undertaken this study. The Frank Parkinson Scholarship stipulates that parents of the scholar must also be Yorkshire-born. I cannot help thinking that what Parkinson had in mind was the type of social mobility embodied by the journey from my Bradford-born mother, Marie McKeating, who ‘passed the Eleven-Plus’ but was denied entry into a grammar school because she was ‘from a children’s home and likely a trouble- maker’, to her second child in whom she instilled a love of books, debate and analysis. The existence of this thesis is testament to both my mother’s and Frank Parkinson’s generosity and vision. Thank you to David Higgins and Jeremy Davies for their guidance and support. I give considerable thanks to Fiona Beckett and John Whale for their encouragement and expert interventions.
