Resources

Written by an East Anglian country gentleman, this satire gently mocked the current rage for visiting Bath, and proved hugely populat with the very people who visited Bath - as did Anstey himself. It made very considerable profits for its author and its publisher Dodsley. [This is a preliminary note: we would welcome a developed scholarly profile.]
