Summary "The Somerset Coast" by Charles G. Harper is a historical travelogue written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the geography, scenery, and cultural significance of the Somerset coastline, bringing to light the often overlooked beauty and charm of this area in England. Harper’s exploration emphasizes the diverse landscapes and rich history associated with places like Bristol and Clevedon, intertwined with references to notable literary figures such as Coleridge and Tennyson. The opening of the book introduces the somewhat controversial notion that there is no significant coast in Somerset, a claim that is swiftly dismissed by local inhabitants. Harper outlines the geographical boundaries of the Somerset Coast, spanning sixty miles from Bristol to Glenthorne, and provides vivid descriptions of various towns and landmarks along the way. He notes the aesthetic contrasts between the muddy shores and the picturesque cliffs, while also showcasing the historical narratives that have shaped the region. The author sets a tone of curiosity and engagement, inviting readers to appreciate the area's unique attributes and its literary associations, particularly as he begins his journey with a description of the Clifton Suspension Bridge and the nearby town of Clevedon.
