• The Building of Bath. This video tells of Bath’s development in the eighteenth century, with emphasis on architecture.
• Jane Austen’s Life; Society; Works. Three, hour-long tapes (one on each subject) have especially good visuals of England, including many Jane Austen sites. Life and Works are good information shortcuts, but no substitute for a book-length biography (see above). Society has useful information about the monarchy, politics, music, manners, medicine, and more.
