- Authors
Offredi, Mariola
- Abstract
The article discusses traditions of writing about mountains that appear in Hindi literature during the period from 1920 to 2004. Topics include images of mountains which function as symbols in Hindi poetry from 1920 to 1996 and in Hindi fiction from 1949 to 2004, the poetic personification of nature against a mountain landscape and the eternity and immovability of mountains, and the symbolic values of mountains, including the trope of the mountain which stands in for the dimensions of space and time.
