About this deal

First published in German as Anne Lister: Eine erotische Biographie on September 1, 2017. Other editions have been translated to English by Katy Derbyshire and can be found under a variety of covers, as shown here. On September 2020 an Italian translation came out under the title Nessuna mi ha mai detto di no. Anne Lister e i suoi diari segreti published by Somara. Metcalf, Mitch (23 April 2019). "Updated: ShowBuzzDaily's Top 150 Monday Cable Originals & Network Finals: 4.22.2019". Showbuzz Daily. Archived from the original on 23 April 2019 . Retrieved 23 April 2019.

This book is judge, jury, and executioner to its subject, which feels like a complete violation of the rules of a biography. You can tell just by the table of contents - her life is divided up not by milestone events but by the women she seduces. Because clearly when someone isn’t straight, the only interesting thing about them is their sex life. Everything else Lister was ever involved or interested in - except her travels - is dismissed with a couple of lines each. Season One follows the return of Anne Lister to Shibden Hall, her determination to update the estate and manage its assets effectively and the beginnings of her romantic involvement with Ann Walker. Although this involvement has a happy end (and I'm not giving anything away here), the two women have to face the constant hostility of Ann Walker's family who are set upon crushing the spirits of these two women. Will they succeed?

One American woman has launched an Anne Lister festival in Halifax. It started as a weekend and has now ballooned into a fortnight-long event. The University of York has named a college after her, while Halifax has put up a statue. Overturning two centuries of erasure is no small achievement, but the other thing viewers liked, Wainwright thinks, “is that her story was so life-affirming, uplifting and clever. She didn’t die at the end – she got her big romantic reconciliation. That’s what gay women responded to. I mean, she will die eventually.” Wainwright still feels bad about killing off Kate in Last Tango in Halifax. “I got slated for that – apparently, all lesbians die in telly, which I just didn’t know.”

Gentleman ‘Uncompromisingly gay’: Sally Wainwright on turning Gentleman

Should the show follow the trajectory of Lister's life we know that the pair will remain together until death doth them part. As for the nitty-gritty, the trials and tribulations that make up any marriage, series three will have to deal with the chaotic state left in series two.

Retrieved 15 September 2012.Part of Lister’s appeal, says Wainwright, is that she is “an atypical historical character”. She was intelligent, single-minded and “uncompromisingly gay – it was a huge part of who she was, a huge part of how courageous she was, living that life not just at that time, but in Halifax, where you still can’t really be gay. I probably shouldn’t say that. Halifax is great.”

Gentleman Jack: A biography of Anne Lister, Regency Landowner

Renegade Nell started life as a play years ago. Wainwright was writing something for her amateur dramatics group and wanted to set it around her local area in the Cotswolds. This strikes me as a rather eccentric hobby: spending your free time doing exactly what you do as your day job, except not getting paid. But maybe it makes Wainwright the ultimate artist, never thinking about the splash a show will make, whether it’ll be in a tiny village hall – or go global. Harp, Justin (7 January 2020).

Retrieved 7 January 2020. Worse, the biographer is making blatant value judgements along the way, without at any point engaging with the context in which her subject lived. In the last third of the book, she is openly derisive when describing Lister’s activities.BBC One released a teaser trailer for series one on 8 March 2019, [49] followed by the first official trailer on 18 March 2019.

[52] Broadcast [ edit ] We know that her extravagant spending has been a point of contention not just with Ann but with the Lister clan too. She has sunk a lot of money into the building of the hotel but will she be able to make a decent return?
