Gilchrist, Anne, née Burrow (1828–85), was the wife of Alexander Gilchrist (1828–61), author of a Life of Etty (1855) and a life of Blake which he left unfinished at his death. The work was completed by Anne Gilchrist and published 1863. It made a considerable contribution to the awakening of interest in Blake's work in the late 19th cent. Mrs Gilchrist corresponded passionately with Whitman (who occasionally replied), wrote appreciations of his work, and visited him in America in 1876–9. She also wrote a life of Mary Lamb (1883) and various articles, sketches, etc.
