Description

Bath 1680-1850 A Social History by R S Neale

Alternatively titled ‘A Valley of Pleasure, yet a Sink of Iniquity’. This book is about the men and women who actually lived in Bath and who, as consumers and producers, transformed it from a tiny Cotswold town, built in the vernacular style, into a spacious Palladian city devoted to the well-being and leisure activities of the wealthy classes. As well as describing these wealthy visitors it is concerned with the labouring population, landowners and peasants, stock-jobbers and entrepreneurs whose activities and aspirations shaped the development of the city.
