Jane Austen's Bath
Jane Austen was no stranger to Bath. She paid two long visits here
towards the end of the eighteenth century, and then lived here
between 1801 and 1806. Many of her novels mention Bath: the city
was a centre of fashionable living during the twenty-five years
that the books span.
Bath is still very much as Jane Austen knew it – both in its
intrinsic character and in the ordered elegance of its
architecture.
