Female fortune land gender and authority6/10/2023 There I am grateful to Elizabeth Fidlon for commissioning this book and to Katherine Bright-Holmes for her enthusiastic and professional editorial support during its successive reshapings and redraftings. I would like to thank Carolyn Steedman, Jeffrey Weeks, Eileen Yeo and in particular Anna Davin for helping smooth what might have otherwise been a bumpy transition from my original publisher, Virago, to Rivers Oram. I would particularly like to acknowledge my gratitude to Alan Betteridge, then Calderdale District Archivist, and now co-tutor on our ‘Introducing Local History in Halifax’ course to Derek Bridge, then Reference Librarian in Halifax Library and to the original group of Anne Lister scholars-the late Muriel Green, Dorothy Thompson, Helena Whitbread and Cat Euler-for sharing with me early on their interest and enthusiasm. Along the way I have therefore accumulated a large number of debts. This book has been longer in the writing than I originally envisaged, partly because the full scale and complexity of Anne Lister's 1830s writings only emerged as I began working on the material.
