Author: Wilkes, Ann
Biography:
WILKES, Ann (fl 1808)
Wilkes appears to have published only one book, Poems, on Subjects Temporal and Divine, although WorldCat includes what may be another edition or a variant title—with no extant copy recorded: Spiritual Hymns and Poems on Various Subjects and Occasions, published in Birmingham by Swinney and Ferrall, who were active only from about 1804 to 1810. There may be internal evidence to make correct identification of the author possible, but at the time of writing and in the absence of digital versions, there is no way to be precise. Was she married or single, established church or dissenter? The name is too common to be sure. HJ
