Item description from seller

Paperback. Few cities have been so celebrated in print as Bath - from Smollett to Jane Austen, from Dickens to Fanny Burney, and from Sheridan to Georgette Heyer. Many other famous writers have passed through as well - Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein in a house in the Abbey Church Yard, Coleridge met his wife in the city, and in the twentieth century John Betjeman championed its architectural heritage. Even Shakespeare - or so it is believed - turned up to take a dip in the hot springs. These eleven walks look at Bath through their eyes, creating a vivid social history of the city over the last 300 years and bringing the past alive with unparalleled immediacy. Fully illustrated, and including in-depth accounts of the writers and works featured, they can either be followed on foot or - with the aid of historic maps of the city - read as a series of essays. Eleven walks which look at Bath through the eyes of eminent authors as diverse as Smollett, Jane Austen, Dickens, Fanny Burney, Sheridan, Georgette Heyer, Mary Shelley and John Betjeman. They create a vivid social history of the city over the last 300 years. Fully illustrated, with detailed accounts of the writers and their works. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
