{"product_id":"9780956098931","title":"Literary Walks in Bath : Eleven Excursions in the Company of Eminent Authors by Kirsten Elliott","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56295488979317,"sku":"9780956098931","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780956098931.jpg?v=1762768153","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780956098931","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
