Written in the late 19th century, the book seamlessly intertwines personal narrative with vivid descriptions of nature, reflecting the literary style of romanticism that emphasized emotional depth and the sublime qualities of the natural world. Salt's prose evokes a deep reverence for the topography he traverses, inviting readers to experience the transformative power of these iconic hills through his thoughtful observations and philosophical musings.

Salt, a prominent advocate for vegetarianism and social reform, was deeply influenced by his surroundings and the philosophical currents of his time, including transcendentalism and the romantic movement.

Salt's background as a writer and thinker underscores the significance he attributes to nature as a source of inspiration and moral reflection.
