Abstract

Ernest Buckler's The Mountain and the Valley may be seen as David's unconscious, and largely unsuccessful, attempt to bring together his imaginative world of visions and senses and his social world of family and friends. The conflicts between David's external world and relationships and his internal world or imagination are key, particularly David's attempts at writing and his climbing of the mountain as key tension/resolution points.
