Biography:
ROSS, Anne (fl 1791-8)
Probably not the English Anna Ross who published The Cottagers: A Comic Opera in 1788, but little certain information has been discovered. Both her poems and her subscription lists indicate that she lived in or around Glasgow. A second edition of her book has not been located but the preface to the 1798 edition states that some poems included in the 1st and 2nd editions were omitted to make way for others. Her Robin Redbreast’s Address to Certain Ladies was issued in 1796 as an 8pp. chapbook by Brash and Reid and included in Poetry Original and Selected, vol. 1 (Glasgow, 1796).
