Welcome back friends! We're so glad to see you've made it this far. In this 4th #HistoricalNightcap installment of the Anniana saga, we cover the two very tumultuous years of 1820-1821. As Anne's eyes wander, Mariana intensifies her pleas for fidelity, and poor Isabella never can say goodbye to Miss Lister or her kisses. We also cover the arrival of the infamous "complaint" and when Anne and Mariana decide to take the sacrament together. Join us with a drink of your choosing for this next chapter of the epic grubble melodrama, that is Anne Lister's life.

Like last time, we've included a detailed chapter list below with time stamps and dates for each entry referenced, and as always, we love to hear from you. Feel free to reach out and follow us on all the things for daily talk of grubbling @gentlemancrack @gentlemanjackcrack

Gentleman Jack Historical Nightcap - Anniana - A Saga of Sapphic Ennui Part V

Hey ho! It's been 84 years, but we're finally back with the second half of this ridiculous 8 part saga! In this fifth chapter of the #HistoricalNightcap, we dive into year 1822 where Anne not only spent a great deal of time with and thinking about Mariana, but also with our favorite Georgian era drinker, Isabella Norcliffe. Love is complicated, and nothing about that changes in the year 1822. We also cover Anne visiting the Ladies of Llangollen and what it was like for her to experience "gay representation" for the first time. The lovely Miss Pickford also makes a cameo and Anne allows mans work to stir her desire for bad woman. If you're not drinking already, you may want to start as we continue on our journey of the bombastic grubble melodrama that is Anne Lister and Mariana Lawton.

To help keep ourselves organized, we've included a detailed chapter list below with time stamps and dates for each entry referenced, and as always, we love to hear from you. Feel free to reach out and follow us on all the things for daily talk of grubbling @gentlemancrack @gentlemanjackcrack
