According to www.JaneAusten.org , "Ms. Austen remained a permanent resident of Bath from 1801 to 1806..." (par. 1). Additionally, in the second edition of Broadview's scholarly edition of Persuasion, Bath is established as being a location where Austen had her own room in (275). Thusly, Bath is one of the few locations that Austen writes about that she has also experienced firsthand. In regards to the plot of Persuasion by Jane Austen, Bath is a real location in England where the fictional characters Sir. Walter Elliot, Elizabeth Elliot, and Anne Elliot relocate to while renting out their family estate (Kellynch Hall) to the Crofts (71). Furthermore, Bath is prominently featured in the novel as being the city where Anne Eliot encounters Mr. Elliot and rekindles her love with Captain Wentworth (191).
