Jane Austen's Bath

Bath is known to many as a location in Jane Austen's novels, including 'Persuasion' and 'Northanger Abbey'.  Though Austen only lived in Bath for five years from 1801 to 1806, she remained a regular visitor throughout her life, as well as a keen student of the city's social scene.
