Synopsis

A Postscript To The New Bath Guide: A Poem is a satirical, epistolary poem by Anthony Pasquin that serves as a postscript to the famous Bath guide. The collection weaves verse and prose into a sequence of letters and tales that lampoon Bath's social life, architecture, manners, and fashionable foibles. Structured as a series of Letters (I–XII) and assorted satirical pieces, it features scenes of Bath's promenades, the behavior of clubgoers, doctors, widows, and critics, as well as parodies of literary reviewers. Pasquin uses mock-heroic verse, dialogue, and burlesque portraits to critique vanity, taste, and the culture of the Bath season. With poems like The Man's Twenty Reasons for not doing as he was desired, The Brown Jugs, and various Letters and Postscript fragments, the work offers a vivid, bawdy, and witty mirror of late 18th-century English society. Original publication dates are around 1789–1790 in London.
