Anne Lister was a Regency landowner, an intrepid world traveller ... and an unabashed lover of other women. \u003cbr\u003eIn 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.\u003cbr\u003eAnne Lister's rich and unconventional life is now the subject of the major BBC TV drama series\u003ci\u003e Gentleman Jack\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Angela Steidele\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1788160991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781788160995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Serpent's Tail\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/07\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Angela Steidele","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44055820370175,"sku":"9781788160995","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c4b2ec96-c9f5-46f7-ab5c-31fff3fd7255.jpg?v=1685037976","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gentleman-jack-angela-steidele-9781788160995","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
