L'he trobat interessant en un principi perquè m'he focalitzat en analitzar l'Anne Lister. El principal problema que té aquesta biografía es que el títol en castellà no acota el que ens trobarem: la vida amorosa d'una dona que és va comportar com el que històricament s'ha atribuït a un casanova: home, que només pensa amb els seus genitals i en portar una vida benestant. Avís per navegants: A la tercera part destapa arguments de tres novel·les, si no he comptat malament.

En principio era interesante des del punto de vista de anàlisis de Anne Lister. El problema principal de esta biografía es que el título en castellano no resume correctamente lo que nos encontraremos: la vida amorosa de una mujer que se comportó como lo que históricamente se atribuye a un casanovas: hombre, que solo piensa en sus genitales y en llevar una vida acomodada y en hacer lo que le da la gana. Aviso para navegantes: en la tercera parte hace spoiler de tres novelas, si no he contado mal.

lrhobbs's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 80%

It was so so so dry, and got worse as it went on

It got to the point where the author also appeared to be bored and was just copying the diary verbatim
adventurous challenging emotional informative inspiring reflective tense slow-paced

If you are planning to watch the BBC dramatization of Anne Lister's life next year, you absolutely must read this biography. Even if you aren't planning to watch the series, you should definitely read this biography as Anne was fascinating, truly fascinating.

What a read. What a trove of research.

Regardless of what you think about the life of Anne Lister, this is so well put together. Whilst it initially felt disjointed and didn't flow. As I progressed through, it was so very carefully delivered, weaving in the detail from Lister's own diary.

Lister's life itself is so interesting as well, particularly her travels had me fascinated.
informative reflective slow-paced

Anne Lister is fascinating (although not such a great person, it turns out), but this book is rather dull.
