	The Literary Gothic \| Francis Lathom
		Francis Lathom was born in Rotterdam, Holland, in 1774; his family returned to England 3 years later (thus leading to the erroneous assignation of a birthdate in 1777; thanks to Franz Potter of Zittaw Press for correct birth information).

		Lathom moved to Bogdavic, Aberdeenshire, with a man rumoured to be his lover; travelled in Europe and America; and died in Aberdeenshire in 1832.
