Anne Bannerman (born October 31, 1765 in Edinburgh , † September 29, 1829 in Portobello ) was a British romantic poet .

Anne Bannerman was born in Edinburgh in 1765 to William Bannerman and Isobel Dick. She has published her poems in periodicals such as Monthly Magazine , Poetical Register and Edinburgh Magazine . Her first volume of poetry, Poems , was published in 1800 and received strong critical acclaim, but, like all of her publications, remained without commercial success. Her second volume, Tales of Superstition and Chivalry , published in 1802, was less well received . Both volumes appeared in a revised form in 1807 under the title Poems, A New Edition . After the death of her brother, Anne Bannerman had to rely on the support of her literary admirers. She died in debt in the Scottish seaside resort of Portobello in 1829. Bannerman went unnoticed by posterity for a long time.
