Gentleman Jack: A biography of Anne Lister, Regency Landowner, Seducer and Secret Diarist (English Edition) Kindle版
Longlisted for the 2019 Portico Prize
The extraordinary life of history's first modern lesbian who inspired the popular television series Gentleman Jack.
Anne Lister's journals were so shocking that the first person to crack their secret code hid them behind a fake panel in his ancestral home. Anne Lister was a Regency landowner, an intrepid world traveller ... and an unabashed lover of other women.
In this bold new biography, prizewinning author Angela Steidele uses the diaries to create a portrait of Anne Lister as we've never seen her before: a woman in some ways very much of her time and in others far ahead of it. Anne Lister recorded everything from the most intimate details of her numerous liaisons through to her plans to make her fortune by exploiting the coal seams under her family estate in Halifax and her reaction to the Peterloo massacre. She conducted a love life of labyrinthine complexity, all while searching for a girlfriend who could provide her with both financial security and true love.
Anne Lister's rich and unconventional life is now the subject of the major BBC TV drama series Gentleman Jack.

This book is fascinating on so many levels. Day to day life in the Regency Period, the cutthroat business world, the politics, the societal structures, the vast inequities between the sexes, the bright burning zeal and smarts of Anne and of course the unrelenting pursuit of her own desires, interests and loves.
The book itself is well and thoughtfully written. The author resists the temptation to judge (too much) as Anne's life and exploits unfold. Given our present politics, it would have been easy to slip into kibitzing about Anne and referencing present day. Rather, we see the unvarnished Anne for who and what she is living in the Regency Period. We watch the unfolding of her virtuoso life performance in her own unapologetic and courageous manner.
When the author does weigh in more (late in the book) my conclusions about Anne coincided with hers. Anne is an amazing, intelligent, curious and energetic personality with a relentless drive and an unrelenting ego. A thank you also to to the author for winnowing the immense content of the diaries and trimming the repetitive detailed descriptions Anne provided of just exactly what Anne was thinking whilst pursuing her lovers.
In the end, aside from the many interesting events and details, Anne comes across as a remarkable and amazing person. Oscar Wilde said "there is no sin but stupidity" and Anne was perhaps "too clever by far". Christopher Hitchens said "the one unforgivable sin is to be boring". I doubt any of her contemporaries ever described Anne as boring!
Thank you also for portraying her brother-in-law Captain Sutherland for who and what he was. An excellent example of Regency Period selfish male privilege complete with disgusting pious self justification!
