Published at different times, Christopher Anstey\u2019s\u00a0The New Bath Guide\u00a0<\/i>(1766), Tobias Smollett\u2019s\u00a0The Expedition of Humphry Clinker\u00a0<\/i>(1771) and Jane Austen\u2019s\u00a0Persuasion<\/i>(1818) all testify to the emergence of new forms of social interaction, particularly on display in spas. The role of illness as an agent of sociability in Bath has been variously apprehended by Anstey, Smollett and Austen, who all three share a first-hand knowledge of a city, ironically nicknamed \u201cthe hospital of the nation\u201d or, more positively, \u201cthe Queen of Watering-Places.\u201d\u00a0 By offering a comparative study of these texts, this workshop will interrogate the representation of fashionable diseases in three literary genres, themselves highly fashionable, the satirical letter, the epistolary novel and the novel of sensibility.\u00a0 The event is free to attend.\u00a0 To reserve a place, please email\u00a0enquiries@fashionablediseases.info<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
