The Forum will meet on 29th October, 5:30-6:30pm GMT. Our theme is ‘Manuscripts and Mediation’ and we’ll discuss what we can learn from the form of Lister’s writing rather than its content. Email [email protected] for meeting details. Image: West Yorkshire Archive, SH:7/ML/E/24/0149

Is there an article, book, or chapter that made you think in a new way about Lister? If you’d like to lead a discussion about a piece of Lister scholarship for the Anne Lister Forum, drop us a message!

Delighted to share our first call for contributions! We are seeking proposals to lead meetings in any format which will promote conversation and debate among junior Lister scholars. Deadline 15th October. See below & please help spread the word!
