Lesbian Editorial Review
**** "**Gentleman Jack: The Real Anne Lister**" serves as both a companion piece to the BBC series and a standalone exploration of Anne Lister's complex life. Readers are drawn in by the book's rich narrative that blends meticulous research with engaging storytelling. Anne Choma's work highlights the remarkable life of Anne Lister—her unconventional approach to gender norms, her openly lesbian identity, and her intellectual pursuits that spanned land management, travel, and philosophy. The book provides illuminating insight into Anne Lister's world, showcasing her strengths and contradictions. Despite some less favorable traits—such as her traditional views on social class—Anne Lister emerges as a groundbreaking figure, earning respect for her courage and intellect during a time when women faced substantial societal restrictions. Through a mix of humor and drama, Choma's book captures the vibrancy of Lister's life and serves as both an educational resource and a compelling narrative about a remarkable individual. While some readers noted a haphazard introduction and a somewhat rushed conclusion regarding the later years of Lister's life, the book delights with its exploration of the early 19th-century context and Lister's intricate diary entries. Whether for those who loved the TV series or those ambivalent about it, this book provides a deeper understanding of Anne Lister's multifaceted character and the historical backdrop in which she thrived. **
