The Secret Diaries Of Miss Anne Lister

The Secret Diaries Of Miss Anne Lister | Anne Lister

14 posts | 6 read | 15 to read

'The Lister Diaries are the Dead Sea Scrolls of lesbian history; they changed everything' Emma Donoghue, author of Room These remarkable diaries are a piece of lost lesbian history. Anne Lister defied the role of womanhood seen in the novels of Jane Austen: she was bold, fiercely independent, a landowner, industrialist, traveller - and lesbian. She kept extensive diaries, written partly in code, of her life and loves. The diaries have been edited by Helena Whitbread, who spent years decoding and transcribing them.

She's an interesting person, Miss Lister. I delighted in her rigorous study schedule and many brisk walks to the library! Less appealing was her snobbery (she's constantly disdaining Halifax society as vulgar) and there were more veal cutlets and gooseberry tarts than anyone might wish. I liked how HW italicises the parts AL wrote in her "crypt-hand": the ladies, of course, but amongst other things her evident unease (and trouble) over her dress.

If you love 19th century diaries or are a fan of HBO's Gentleman Jack, then I would recommend this. Now I just need to find a good biography about Anne.

Due to my binging and loving Gentleman Jack on HBO, I‘ve started reading Anne Lister‘s diaries. It is so interesting how she lived her life. I am completely fascinated. If you have not seen Gentleman Jack, I highly recommend it. ❤️📚🎥🤓👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩
