This beautifully illustrated guidebook weaves together the story
of Jane Austen’s own life in Bath with the stories of the
unforgettable characters she created. Today, with its perfectly
preserved Georgian architecture and stunning surrounding countryside,
it looks much as it did in Austen’s day and remains one of
the loveliest cities in England, and an hour away from London.
The four delightful walks mapped in this book take readers to Bath’s
unique crescents, to its pleasure gardens and ancient Roman spas,
and to the Pump Room and Assembly Rooms, site of the glittering
balls where Austen’s heroines made their debuts.
Katharine Reeve is an editor and writer. She is former Editorial Director and History Commissioning Editor at Oxford University Press. She lives in Bath.
