Episode 49: The Thing About the Bath Paper with guest Barbara Heller

The Thing About Austen

We are joined this week by guest Barbara Heller to discuss the Bath paper aka the Bath Chronicle. We cover Sir Walter's favorite “Arrived Here” column, as well as diving into other details of the paper of choice for Regency Bath society. Barbara also chats with us about her new edition of Persuasion and her process for curating the various letters and ephemera included with the novel.
