| Popis: | International audience; This chapter pays special attention to the third and last volume of Evelina, in which Frances Burney has her heroine go to Bristol Hotwells ‘for the recovery of [her] health’ and visit briefly ‘[t]he charming city of Bath’. Yet, in a novel where short vignettes of fashionable places or touristic spots abound, Rouhette observes that neither the Hotwells nor the city of Bristol receive any kind of description, and Evelina never actually leaves what was supposed to be a temporary place of residence. After examining the significance of the ‘permanent transience’ of Evelina’s stay at Bristol, Rouhette focuses on the vagueness of the setting to bring out its literary dimension, highlighting parallels with and differences from Smollett’s Humphry Clinker and Anstey’s New Bath Guide |
