Anstey, Christopher

British poet

born Oct. 31, 1724, Brinkley, Cambridgeshire, Eng.

died Aug. 3, 1805, Bath, Somerset

poet whose epistolary verse narrative, The New Bath Guide, went through more than 30 editions between 1766 and 1830. After an education at Eton and at King's College, Cambridge, Anstey in 1754 inherited an independent income; and in 1770 he settled permanently at Bath, fashionable spa of the 18th century. The New Bath Guide; or, Memoirs of the B—R—D Family (1766) is a satire on various aspects of Bath life.

Much of the poem's charm arises from Anstey's mastery of versification, but the element of parody, together with the simple caricature and occasional accurate delineation of scenes well-known to 18th-century readers, helps to explain the poem's popularity.
