Insights from Chapter 1

#1

Anne Lister was a girl who was different from the other girls at her boarding school. She wanted to learn more than was customary for girls her age, and she was called the Solomon of the school.

#2

Anne’s childhood was extremely poor. She had little money, and her father did not spend it wisely. She spent her early years in the Yorkshire Wolds, and her later years in the Ripon Girls’ School.

#3

Anne Lister was sent to Manor House School in York in 1805 or 1806, which was considered one of the best girls’ schools in the area. She was schooled in reading, writing, and arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, geography, history, and heraldry.

#4

Anne continued her Latin lessons at her own request, for eight hours a week. She did not sleep in the dormitories, but instead shared an attic room with one other girl: Eliza Raine.

#5

Anne received lessons from the Halifax theologian Samuel Knight in the fall of 1806, learning algebra, rhetoric, and classical languages. She enjoyed competing against her younger brother Samuel in masculine arts, such as chess, fencing, or translating from Latin.

#6

Anne’s interest in the Classics was not just because they were part of the curriculum for young men; she noticed that classical literature exalted eroticism and desire, without Christian moralising.

#7

Anne Lister, a respectable English girl, read the works of Martial and other Roman poets, and found them to be erotic. She used these poems to masturbate to.

#8

Eliza’s life was already complicated. She had to deal with the fact that her sister Jane had married a man named Henry Boulton, and had sailed to India with him.

#9

In 1808, Anne went to stay with her uncle James Raine in Scarborough, and met his wife and four young children. She and Eliza spent three weeks in Yorkshire’s most sophisticated coastal resort.

#10

In 1809, the exchange of letters between Anne and Eliza grew less regular. While whispering sweet nothings to Maria Alexander, Anne versified to Eliza.

#11

Eliza and Anne’s relationship changed after the Battle of Waterloo. Eliza knew how to get close to Anne again, and she invited her to visit her in York for the winter concert and ball season.

#12

In the first five weeks of their journey, Anne and Eliza enjoyed the season in York. They saw the primadonna assoluta Angelica Catalani on 22 December, who was then the toast of England, and Europe. But influenza brought the season crashing to an end.

#13

In 1810, Anne visited Doncaster to see Eliza, and Lady Crawfurd immediately began to suspect them of plotting against her. Anne left after a week, and Eliza told Lady Crawfurd that she was planning on leaving her.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

Eliza’s jealousy of Anne’s new friend Isabella Norcliffe was obvious. But Anne was unaffected by Eliza’s flattery, as she was already in love with another woman.

#2

Anne Lister was a very sensible woman who led an exemplary life. She was loved by her friends, and she and Isabella became close in York in 1811.

#3

Eliza was taught to dance the quadrille by Anne’s father in Halifax, and she spent time with the Listers. Samuel, the Listers’ only remaining son and the heir to Shibden Hall, was considering signing up to the military as his father had.

#4

Anne and Isabella were very happy to begin with. In May 1812, Anne wrote to her brother that she and Isabella were inseparable, spent whole days together, and went to the theater in the evenings.

#5

The Norcliffes invited Anne to spend a week traveling with them in May 1813. Anne loved exploring new places and enjoyed the freedom afforded in unfamiliar settings. She was not hard to return to York.
