Gentleman Jack: The Real Anne Lister by Anne Choma

4.0

Like many people, I became aware of Anne Lister through the HBO mini-series. This book is fascinating and gets into the historical details of her life during the period covered by the show. What I find most compelling is the level of introspection that Miss Lister employed on a daily basis. The book includes excerpts from her journals with the historical context in which she was writing.
