Have not seen the Netflix series but I do know that the real-life story of Anne Lister is incredible. This novel was extremely informative and not having any other to reference, this very good. Just goes to show that we don't know what we don't know.
I'm always amazed at how much Victorian society so majorly shifted social change.
I'm not sure what to make of the author's take on the Bronte sisters being influenced by Anne but it's not a far leap. I think this very small part of the book distracted me somewhat.
Would love to read all 4 million words by Anne but hell no. This will do just fine.

Lo único positivo que puedo sacarle a esta biografía es que me ha dado ganas de ir a buscar otras mejores.

Unfortunately, this was a bit dry and very much framed by the biographer's opinions and interests. They mention sections of Anne Lister's diaries that remain uncoordinated, showing that the author used sources decoded by others and did not decide to decode herself and increase the resources at her disposal, which seems an odd decision. Similarly, the focus of many chapters being given to Anne's relationships makes Anne seem a bit one-dimensional, defined by others, and historical documents don't bear out this assumption. I would have loved to read more about Anne as a person and the events of her life outside the relationships she had.
Thos was very much a disappointment, even though I understood that Anne's diaries don't have the benefit of a screenwriter and producer, which helped bring them to life in the TV adaptation.
