This is the first edited collection of essays on the
nineteenth-century diarist Anne Lister. Now recognized as a UNESCO
world heritage document, Lister's five-million-word diaries are
paradigm-shifting in terms of their range of material, from social
commentary and politics to breath-taking travel accounts. However,
they have become most well-known for their explicit descriptions of
same-sex practices, written in code and constituting a significant
portion of their content. The essays here address the variety and
interdisciplinarity of the diaries: Lister's negotiations with her
own 'odd' identity, her multiple same-sex relationships, her
involvement in politics and her lifelong thirst for knowledge. It
also addresses Lister studies in popular culture through the
successful Gentleman Jack BBC-HBO series, including an interview
with Sally Wainwright and foreword by author Emma Donoghue. This
title is part of the Flip it Open Programme and may also be
available Open Access. Check our website Cambridge Core for
