Product Information
The diaries that inspired a major new eight-part BBC One drama starting Suranne Jones (Doctor Foster) and created, written and directed by Sally Wainwright (Last Tango In Halifax, Happy Valley). The real Anne Lister, and the official companion to the hit BBC series created by Sally Wainwright and starring Suranne Jones. In Gentleman Jack, historian and series consultant Anne Choma draws from the explosive diaries of Anne Lister to recreate the life and times of one of the most fascinating figures of the 19th century. Anne's remarkable diaries, partly written in a secret code, detailed her innermost thoughts on everything from sex, menstruation and money to relationships, politics and society. As Choma shows, they have opened up a previously unknown world to us. Fearless, charismatic and determined to explore her lesbian sexuality, Anne forged her own path in a society that had no language to define her. This is the real Gentleman Jack, following Anne from her crumbling ancestral home in Yorkshire to the glittering courts of Denmark as she resolves to put past heartbreak behind her and find herself a wife. The official companion to the first series, it also features unpublished journal extracts decrypted for the first time, as well as a foreword by series creator Sally Wainwright.Product Identifiers

Definitely worth reading
It shows a real insight into a very intelligent, business focused woman in the early 1800’s. Events happen in a slightly different order than in the BBC drama but the book gives more insight into the way Anne Lister thought and carried out her daily life.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Owing to only having read several pages it would be wrong to submit any review
At the present time I am unable, only having read the first few pages of the book, to make any comment regarding anything about the book other than I would not have bought it had there not been the series being shown on the BBC. It remains to be seen whether the programme on the BBC accurately reflects what is written in it or is vastly different.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
