York
|
| York is a now a major Northern city, but
the city centre, where Shelley, Hogg and
Harriet went after leaving Edinburgh in
October of 1811 (and where Hogg tried to
seduce Harriet), is still a picturesque
market town with a lively tourist trade. |
|
|
| We attempted to locate "Miss Dancer's,
Coney Street " and the Blake Street address
at the local public library without
success—although Blake and Cony-Street
still exist, without specific addresses, we
were unable to determine the exact Shelley
sites. Dan Hall, however, had the good sense
to look in the Oxford University Press
Literary Guide to Britain and found Miss
Dancer's at “20 Coney Street.”
Biff Vernon visited York and took this photo
of the site. |
