Our recent interest in queer histories and the new BBC One drama Gentleman Jack has sparked the choice of reading for our next meeting: Danielle Orr’s article ‘“i tell myself to myself”: homosexual agency in the journals of anne lister (1791-1840)’, Women’s Writing 11, 2 (2004): 201-222. We will meet at 12.30pm on Friday 23 August in Anne Curthoys Room, Coombs Building. (Feel free to bring your lunch.) If you are able to join us please contact Dr Karen Downingfor the reading.)
