Book description
This isnt a tourist-oriented souvenir book with lots of impressive photography and a history focused mainly on amusing anecdotes and the 18th Century Georgian/Regency era. Instead its a serious history of the city from the pagan Celtic era up to the mid 1980s when it was written. Its a good bridge between casual curiosity and serious scholarship for those looking for a way in to the more academic material and an excellent account of whats known of Bath from pre-history through to the Mediaeval period. After that it becomes steadily more cursory as it approaches the 20th Century where it rapidly deteriorates in quality as the text degenerates into a series of complaints and rants about the post-WWII architecture and planning. This is a shame, spoiling the excellence of the first half of the book.Really from the chapter on 18th Century Bath onward it stops being a real general history of Bath at all, instead focusing more and more narrowly on the physical development of the city. One of the strongest features of the book is the succession of reconstructed and contemporary maps of the city that show its expansion over time and how the constraints of previous developments affected future changes, leading to the city we have today.These criticisms perhaps should not be surprising, considering that the author is an archaeologist by profession and has made his name by heading the most important 20th Century archaeological investigations in Bath. One would expect his knowledge and enthusiasm to be greatest over the time period when archaeology throws more light than documentation does and this is clear in the text: the transition occurs in the Mediaeval period, which is the last really good chapter in the book. One can also understand the focus on the physical fabric of the city, too; physical remains are what archaeologists mostly work with, so to be fair the author probably intended to focus in this way - but it leaves a lot out - more than it puts in, really, from 1700 or so, onward. One might also consider in defense of Cunliffe that he was probably working to tight constraints on word count and number of pages.Hence I can strongly recommend the first half of this book, which gives much detail from probably the leading expert but if you are mostly interested in Baths Georgian or later history you should look elsewhere - one of those souvenir books will serve you much better with pretty pictures to boot. For me - well, I got what I most wanted to learn more about, having read one of those touristy histories already.
