Such Sweet Possession: The Life and Loves of Anne Lister

Such Sweet Possession: The Life and Loves of Anne Lister

Kaye Wragg
3.6/5 ( ratings)
Adapted from Helena Whitbread's The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister: Volume I, I Know My Own Heart and Volume II, No Priest But Love

Listening Length: 2 hours and 17 minutes

Meet Anne Lister, the 18th-century landowner, industrialist, explorer, lesbian and feminist icon. This is her story....

Anne was different from society's expectations of a woman at the time: she not only did not wish to marry, but she also did not want to conform. Anne was interested only in women and had 'marriage' ceremonies with Mariana Lawton and later Ann Walker. She spent a great deal of time studying, managed her own estates, sought business opportunities, travelled widely and climbed mountains.

In this full-cast BBC Radio 4 dramatisation written by Mary Cooper and starring Deborah McAndrew as Anne, we meet the serial diarist as she describes her life, her loves and the societal changes happening around her.

Cast:

Anne......Deborah McAndrew
Isabella......Helen Schlesinger
Mariana......Kaye Wragg
Eliza......Rina Mahoney

Produced and directed by Nadia Molinan.
