🎩 OTD in 1840, #AnneLister died in Koutaisi, Georgia — as far from home @ShibdenHall as she’d ever been. 💫 Now her legacy of 𝓞𝟧+𝟥 & resilience likewise ranges the globe. 📖🪶 Remembering a brilliant writer & dazzling ancestor today ❤️ #lgbtq (AL bookplate 🙏 @wyorksarchives)
An article that was published yesterday in De Morgen - a Belgian newspaper: ‘Gentleman Jack’ is een wervelend kostuumdrama over ‘de eerste moderne lesbienne’ https://t.co/3lyKuPOiEl via @demorgen#savegentlemanjack#hbo#bbc#annelister
“Gentleman Jack has higher demand than 97.7% of all Drama titles in the United States.” 5⭐️ drama & off-the-charts demand? What more does it take to #SaveGentlemanJack?! @Caseybloys @hbomax @BBC @LookoutPointTV @wbd https://t.co/ocMC7qtjux
#AnneLister’s stature as a historical figure, writer & diarist, and inspiration now demands her story be told *in its entirety.*🖤 What tv show compares in impact? There’s every reason to continue & no defensible reason to cut her story short. @wbd@BBC#RenewGentlemanJack#lgbtq
@CulturalRach Thank you so much for this! I see a future project in this as well: an audiobook of the full diary - I would very much enjoy the countless hours of listening to Anne's stories! 🙏✍️🎩
@moliveiradev Thanks Marlene, I should have seen this (but have been too absorbed with work I'm afraid). I have been in touch with them recently actually and did get great assistance for my research. I just somehow completely missed they organized this talk.
@moliveiradev @SarahR_Library Hi Marlene, can I ask you who organized this lecture? I'm very interested since I'm doing research on John Waterhouse specifically and the early days of photography but I wasn't aware of this lecture unfortunately.
Another photograph by Lady Clementina Hawarden of Donald Cameron of Lochiel (the 24th) son of Vere Hobart and Donald Cameron of Lochiel (the 23rd) in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum. #AnneLister#GentlemanJack#packedwithpotential#annelistersociety
In my research on early photography I accidentally came across this picture. The gentleman is Donald Cameron of Lochiel (the 24th), the son of Vere Hobart and Donald Cameron of Lochiel (the 23rd). #AnneLister#gentlemanjack#packedwithpotential#annelistersociety
