ISBN: 9781551111353.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work of ‘L.E.L.’ began to be published when she was only seventeen, and in her early twenties Landon had already achieved considerable renown. As a widely envied independent woman in London society, however, she was increasingly the subject of scandalous gossip. Eventually she married the governor of a colony in West Africa, and died under mysterious circumstances soon after arriving in Africa, aged thirty-six. Landon’s life contributed very largely to the nineteenth-century archetype of the poet as a breed apart, heroic but doomed. Her poetry, however, was until very recently largely forgotten; this is the first twentieth-century edition of her poems, which the editors describe as “cold and sentimental at the same time, flat and intense.”\nIn addition to a broad selection of Landon’s poetry and prose, this volume also includes a wide variety of contextual materials and a comprehensive bibliography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadview Press Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44955126005813,"sku":"ByrdShop_1551111357","price":33.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781551111353_0288e2fb-1979-4b54-9775-aba73391d90d.jpg?v=1778844732","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/letitia-elizabeth-landon-selected-writings-broadview-literary-texts-series-9781551111353","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
