Wordsworth's Route Over the Simplon in 1790: A Reconstruction - Features and Events - Romantic Circles Wordsworth's curt, matter-of-fact statement in a letter to his sister belies the importance his crossing would later assume in the poet's imaginative life and the daunting amount of often very fine criticism written in response. By the time they reached Brig, the two companions already had a month's walking in their legs, enabling them to ascend "the Simplon's steep and rugged road" (Prelude 1850 VI 563) to the pass in less than five hours, before the even longer walk down on the other side. From the Simplon Pass (2006m) the trail descends gradually to the Old Spittel (1870m), then further down through delightful forests, meadows, and hamlets, such as Maschihüs (pic 13), through Simplon village (1572m) (pic 14) and down to the hamlet of Gabi (1228m) (pic 15). www.rc.umd.edu /features/features/simplon   (2313 words)

Miall -- Wordsworth at the Simplon Pass I suggest that history, in Liu's sense, is not at issue either in the Simplon Pass passage or in those that surround it: not the French Revolution, nor the subsequent presence of Napoleon on these very Alpine passes. The pattern of response at the Simplon, however, is made somewhat enigmatic by the dropping of the cave passage. The Simplon crossing, I have been arguing, demonstrates the replacement of an inadequate visual response to Nature derived from the picturesque, where "the mind / Itself were nothing, a mean pensioner / On outward forms" (vi.666-8). www.ualberta.ca /~dmiall/SIMPLON.HTM   (4448 words)

_ Simplon pass tunnel Switzerland guide   (Site not responding. Last check: 0000-00-00) The road over the Simplon Pass (2005m), southwest of Brig, was built by Napoleon as a military through route between 1800 and 1808, immediately after he’d successfully crossed the Grand-St-Bernard with an army. While you’re standing on the pass heights, give a thought for those careering at speed on trains through the Simplon Tunnel, some 2400m beneath the Wasenhorn peak just to the east. This is the longest rail tunnel in the world, entered almost immediately after leaving Brig station and emerging 19.8km later in Italy for the short run to Domodossola (from where Swiss trains connect on the Centovalli line to Locarno), and on south to Milan. switzerland.isyours.com /e/guide/valais/simplon.html   (331 words)

Miall , Romantic Travel: Wordsworth at the Simplon Pass It seems likely that the day was cloudy, but even if Wordsworth had been able to see clearly, the range of mountains to the south must have misled him, as this print and my photograph show, leading him to believe that the summit of the Alps was yet to come: The works shown on the left in the print are the foundations for the new Hospice, initiated by Napoleon (whose new road over the Simplon is also shown). Wordsworth and Jones had lunch at the Old Spittal or Hospice (shown on the right) a couple of miles beyond the actual summit with a company of other travellers (free meals were provided to travellers here). www.ualberta.ca /~dmiall/Travel/Simplon.htm   (960 words)

Styles of footwall uplift along the Simplon and Brenner normal fault systems, central and Eastern Alps The Simplon and Brenner extensional shear zones of the central and Eastern Alps, respectively, are low-angle detachments that accommodated orogen-parallel extension and unroofed midcrustal rocks in their footwalls. In contrast with the Brenner region, however, the northern Simplon footwall shows strike-slip dominated postmylonitic deformation related to slip along the Rhône Line. The footwalls of these detachment systems define a unique class of core complex characterized by the development of a midcrustal, synthetic lower hinge that acts to steepen the detachment system and accommodate footwall uplift by a subvertical simple shear mechanism. www.agu.org /pubs/crossref/2001/2000TC001253.shtml   (330 words)
