Description:	Select Guide Rating The diary of a remarkable woman who lived life on her terms in Regency Yorkshire. Anne Lister was a wealthy landowner, industrialist and lesbian. Discover the extraordinary diaries of the real Anne Lister: the inspiration for Gentleman Jack and Emma Donoghue''s new novel Learned By Heart ''Engaging, revealing, at times simply astonishing'' SARAH WATERS ''[Anne Lister''s] sense of self, and self-awareness, is what makes her modern to us . . . The diaries gave me courage'' JEANETTE WINTERSON ''The Lister diaries are the Dead Sea Scrolls of lesbian history'' EMMA DONOGHUE When this volume of Anne Lister''s diaries was first published in 1988, it was hailed as a vital piece of lost lesbian history. The editor, Helena Whitbread, had spent years painstakingly researching and transcribing Lister''s extensive journals, much of which were written in an elaborate code - what Lister called her ''crypthand'', which allowed her to record her life in intimate, and at times, explicit, detail. Until then, Anne Lister''s lesbianism had been supressed or hinted at; this was the first time her story had been told. Anne Lister defied the role of nineteenth century womanhood: she was bold, fiercely independent, a landowner, industrialist, traveller and lesbian - a woman who lived her life on her own terms. *These diaries include the years 1816-1824. The second volume, continuing Anne''s story, THE SECRET DIARIES OF MISS ANNE LISTER: NO PRIEST BUT LOVE, is now available.*
