Two of Jane Austen's novel take place at least partially in Bath. Our speaker writes:

"Bath was second only to London as a place to shop. In Jane Austen’s Persuasion, Anne Elliot visits the city. Using quotes from the book, circa 1815-1816, as Anne and her friends walk the streets of Bath, Dr. Wass rounds out the picture–from the Pump Room to the baths, and a confectioner’s shop to a gunsmith. She does this using a compilation of newspaper advertisements from The Bath Chronicle; contemporaneous images, including views and a map of the city, fashion plates, and caricatures; and extant objects. So, ladies, strap on your pattens, and gentlemen, grab your umbrellas for this shopping tour of the city."

Please join us as Ann Bauerman Wass takes us on an exciting trip to Bath (virtually).
