There may well have been hideous creatures in Bath at one time. Thankfully that is no longer the case.
Austen is an author who never missed an opportunity to poke fun and this mug captures one of Persuasion's most delightfully ironic moments. Because Anne Elliot's comment on Bath’s 'ugly women' doesn't critique Bath's lovely ladies...but rather its men. Sharp social commentary is what they call it now. As a man I call it a bit too clever.
Regardless, this humorous literary mug is perfect for Austen fans who appreciate her keen observations. Whether you adore Persuasion, just love a well-placed insult disguised as politeness, or simply enjoy a literary inside joke, this mug will allow you to appreciate Austen with pride.
This confrontational classic could help you land that lovely lad or lady. Or you could explain that you're being ironic, in a sort of postmodern way. Whatever!
