Anne Gilchrist (1828-1885) was a notable English literary figure, best remembered for her insightful correspondence with the American poet Walt Whitman. Born Anne Burrows, she married Alexander Gilchrist, a biographer of William Blake, and became immersed in the Pre-Raphaelite circle, which profoundly influenced her intellectual development. After her husband's untimely death, Gilchrist took on the formidable task of completing his work on Blake, showcasing her scholarly aptitude. Her fascination with Whitman's poetry sparked a heartfelt epistolary relationship, which has been immortalized in 'The Collected Letters of Anne Gilchrist and Walt Whitman' (Gordon, 1918). These letters reveal Gilchrist's passionate and sometimes unorthodox literary engagement, as well as her substantial role in advocating Whitman's work in Britain. Her literary style is characterized by emotive expressiveness and a keen analytical mind, contributing to her status as a respected figure in literary scholarship and criticism. Gilchrist's legacy endures through her written words, which provide insightful glimpses into the intellectual exchanges of the 19th-century literary transatlantic dialogue.
