Some Anne Lister Resources

Want some outstanding Anne Lister resources? I’ve got ’em! The first is in a tweet, with a Twitter thread of my own thoughts . . .

The thing about #AnneLister is she documented lesbian life in the 1800s in a way no one else did.

There is so much more to #AnneLister’s story – romances, travels, accomplishments. Years and years of unexplored diaries left to mine.

But wait, there’s more

One more excellent resource is a Vulture article about the 7 entries from Anne Lister’s diaries that most influenced Sally Wainwright in writing Gentleman Jack.

In an older article about the earlier movie The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister, I have a few links of interest to resources, particularly an article by Jeanette Winterson.

If your curiosity isn’t satisfied yet, check out Gentleman Jack: The Real Anne Lister (Movie Tie-In) (affiliate link). A whole book on the period covered in the TV series!
