Unknown Author

4.9/5 (32698 ratings)

Description:The 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." In 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.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
