The Old Malt House

Jane Austen, who was an inhabitant of Bath for many years, wrote two novels that had Bath featured prominently, "Persuasion" and "Northanger Abbey", you can still see many of the places that she wrote about including the Pump Room and the Assembly Rooms. For those of you who want the pleasure of Jane without the pain of reading, both novels have been adapted into movies, I preferred the 1995 Amanda Root/Ciaran Hind version of "Persuasion" over the 2007 version that just played on Masterpiece Theater although Anthony Head was a superb Mr. Elliott. There was also a 2007 adaptation of "Northanger Abbey".
