Home / The Letters of Anne Gilchrist and Walt Whitman
According to Wikipedia: "Anne Gilchrist (1828 – 29 November 1885), née Burrows, was an English writer, best known for her connection to American poet Walt Whitman... Anne is perhaps best-known for developing a deep attachment to Walt Whitman when she read Leaves of Grass in 1869, and for writing the first great criticism of that work, A Woman's Estimate of Walt Whitman; their correspondence was initiated through William Michael Rossetti. When she eventually travelled to Philadelphia, in 1876, she met Whitman and they formed a lasting friendship. She moved to New England in 1878, but returned to England the following year.”
