Katherine Kelly as Elizabeth Sutherland, Ann Walker's sister who lives in Scotland with her husband and childrenAnne Lister had boundless energy, physical, mental and sexual. She was well read, cultured, a classicist and an inveterate and hardy traveller. She was also keenly interested in scientific discovery, industrial developments, advances in medical science; she studied anatomy and was quite at home with a knife in her hand with which she dissected humans and animals. a b c "The life and loves of Shibden Hall's Anne Lister".

This book relies heavily on previously published works regarding Anne Lister. By combining facts in what may be a brief introduction, it adds nothing to the canon. That I had never varied & no effort on my part had been able to counteract it. That the girls liked me & had always liked me. That I had never been refused by anyone & that, without attempting to account for the thing, I hoped it might, under such circumstances be excused.

The other reason is that as a gay woman, I am always hungry for LGBT history in any form. I wanted desperately to feel some sort of connection, to hook my own longings onto the chain of women before me and not feel so isolated in my experiences. Two of her lovers ended up in mental asylums - the first and the last - the first, Eliza Raine, Anne encouraged to have incarcerated for life so she would be unable to testify against her in court.

Worse, the biographer is making blatant value judgements along the way, without at any point engaging with the context in which her subject lived. In the last third of the book, she is openly derisive when describing Lister’s activities. Vicinus, Martha, Intimate Friends: Women Who Loved Women, 1778–1928.

This biography is also a poetic middle finger (a body part that Anne mentions a lot) to the romanticed tales of female "friendships".

The series is inspired by a remarkable true story of the charismatic Anne, who is often called "the first modern lesbian", as she attempts to revitalise her inherited home—and marry wealthy heiress, Ann. Anne seems to have believed completely that her activities were no sin – and that her tastes were shared by many women in her circle – but that those of homosexual men were. C onsidered a sequel to Female Fortune, this book continues to use Anne Lister's journal to explore daily life at Shibden Hall with Anne Lister and Ann Walker up to 1838. A book that will stay with me for weeks to come I suspect. It leaves much to ponder upon. I’ve no hesitation in recommending it, especially if British history’s your thing, social, cultural, political. An interest in diversity might help too, along with travel. Here you would read how an ambitious and highly charged lesbian on the perimeter of the landed aristocracy sought fulfilment. Old money forced, because of the turn in the economic tide, to mingle with the new. We know that her extravagant spending has been a point of contention not just with Ann but with the Lister clan too. She has sunk a lot of money into the building of the hotel but will she be able to make a decent return?Metcalf, Mitch (21 May 2019).

Gentleman ‘Uncompromisingly gay’: Sally Wainwright on turning Gentleman

She's fighting the tribe. She's protecting her assets. She's fighting for what she wants for their wills and the division of the estate. She's not just on fire, she's dangerous because there's so much going on with her that she is on the cusp of losing control almost at any point because she's so excited with her life." It would be hard to deny them a gratification of this kind. I urged in my own defence the strength of natural feeling & instinct, for so I might call it, as I had always had the same turn from infancy. That it had been known to me, as it were, by inclination.

The Friend. Alan Bray, 2006, University of Chicago Press . See chapter: "Friendship and Modernity", pp. 205-288. We know from the true story of Anne Lister's life that she passed away in 1840, only six years after the couple eloped, which means we're still a few seasons from that heartbreak (thank goodness).

That said, if you're new to the topic, the first thing you should know about Anne Lister books is to NEVER FORGET you're reading (or watching!) someone's INTERPRETATION of Anne Lister. All biographers and researchers of Anne Lister lay a heavy hand on their works in determining what they think you should know about her or how they want to present her based on their own feelings about her. (For example, Steidele says at the very end that she fell in love with Anne only to be betrayed by Anne. I strongly believe that means she wasn't paying attention to the real Anne all along.) Really, all I’m ever thinking is: ‘Will people stay with this, line by line?’” Still, didn’t her am dram team ever think it at all odd? “I don’t think they really noticed what I did for a job,” she says. “The plays I did were quite good. I think they noticed that the plays were good.” Then she smiles as if to say: “What? I’m not going to pretend I’m not good.” And nor should she.
