This would have been far more illuminating. . I’m putting lesbian in quotation marks because what is actually the most fascinating things about the diary is how Anne Lister explores her attraction to women and her sexual identity in a time before sexuality was such a defining characteristic for our identities and before the word lesbian even existed with our contemporary understanding of it (if anyone as nerdy as me is wondering, “lesbian” was first used in 1890 as “female homosexual,” according to the Oxford English Dictionary—so it’s really a relatively new word!). I'm not saying Anne Lister wasn't an elitist snob, and certainly an intellectual one, but when reading what she writes about people, I think these things need to be kept in mind. Anne Lister wanted to be a gentleman rogue, and she did quite well for herself, despite the odds. Anne's efforts, firstly to extricate herself from this new 'scrape' and then to make a choice between the two women in her life, provides an absorbing sexual and social drama.We follow Anne Lister to Buxton, Derbyshire, where a husband appears in hot pursuit of his straying wife who has, in turn, followed Anne there; in Halifax, the Yorkshire town of Anne's birth; to London; and to post-revolutionary Paris, a city alive with political intrigue.

Brand new Book. It was cool in general to get such a good look at the life and views of another person living in a different time and how different her concerns were. One thing to bear in mind is that diary writing catches you in all moods, feeling sorry for yourself, being angry with the world... and in venting you can express yourself in ways you wouldn't when calm. During her lifetime, Anne kept a diary which runs to some four million words. It's a primary source, so not super compelling in of itself, but I'm very very glad I read it.This has been fascinating, but how to score it or even if we should be reading it is a question. Condition: Very Good. New Book. PAP. Condition: New.

and how they fit into local society - there are a lot of names mentioned and it can be difficult to keep trackI found this book very interesting, but feel it could benefit from more detailed notes about some of the friends and acquaintances (other than her close family and most significant lovers) who are mentioned in her journal as it can be difficult to understand how she knows them, why she visits them (there are several who she doesn’t seem to like at all and she finds many of them vulgar!) Condition: Good. She's a massive snob and conservative and hard to like, dresses as she pleases and refuses to bend to society's constraints and easy to like. Language: English.
