BrontëBlog: Anne Lister of Shibden Hall

Anne Lister was "in Emily's day (that is when she taught in Law Hill) the 'master of Shibden Hall, a sprawling building with dark, gleaming, wood-panelled walls inside, open beamed celings and huge fireplaces similar to those in Wuthering Heights (...) Anne Lister was a strange spinster heiress who always wore black and habitually dressed in men's clothes" (Katharine Frank, Emily Bontë: A Chainless Soul, p.123).
