The Tales We Tell Episode 22: A Yorkshire Lady of Renown
Episode 22
Sunday, 11 December, 2022

In this episode of The Tales We Tell, Clara Cook is joined by Hattie from the Hattie Talks podcast to explore the barrier breaking TV show Gentleman Jack, based on the life of the diarist and lesbian Anne Lister. We discuss Anne's struggles, her triumphs and her passionate romantic relationships. We examine if Gentleman Jack is accurate in its representation of the strict gender and class roles of early 19th century Britain.
