	Encyclopedia: Letitia Elizabeth Landon
		Letitia LandonÂ’s father, John Landon (1756-1824), of a Herefordshire family, had served in the British Navy and voyaged to the southern coast of Africa and to Jamaica.
		Landon, therefore, had been attacked by hostile critics while she was living, and was generally dismissed unread after her death, as a result of social and political changes.
		Letitia Elizabeth Landon (August 14, 1802 - October 15, 1838), English poet and novelist, better known by her initials L. About 1815 the Landons made the acquaintance of William Jerdan, and Letitia began her contributions to the Literary Gazette and to various Christmas annuals.

	LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON
		L.E.L., the initials under which Letitia Elizabeth Landon published her works, inhabits a hybrid space in the domain of female nineteenth-century poetry.
		Throughout her life, L.E.L. showed a keen sense of the literary market and a sharp ability to overcome the restraints the literary conventions imposed upon the female poet, as the pressing financial difficulties turned her into the main source of income for the whole family.
		Landon’s provocative and deconstructive position towards an ideology that defined the female as innately emotional, intuitive, sentimental and illogical did not follow the example of Mary Wollstonecraft’s open attacks against the ideological establishment.

		Alfred Mossman "Alf" Landon (September 9, 1887 - October 12, 1987) was an American Republican politician from Kansas, notable nationally for his 1936 nomination as the Republican opponent of Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
		Born in West Middlesex, Pennsylvania, in 1887, Landon moved to Kansas and was a millionaire in the oil industry by 1929.
		The 1936 Presidential election was extraordinarily lopsided, with Landon carrying only Maine and Vermont, and losing the popular vote by more than 10 million votes.

	THE OCCULTATION OF LETITIA ELIZABETHER LANDON (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Letitia Landon would wander in the woods and overgrown old gardens, reading voraciously and beginning to compose poems almost as soon as she could write.
		The Landons gave up Trevor Park and Coventry Farm, and settled in a suburban house at Old Brompton, a move that was to have far-reaching effects on their daughter’s future.
		When Landon was remembered at all as a writer, it was as the author of merely fashionable verse, and negligible fiction, during a dull interim period.

		The circumstances in which L.E.L.'s poetry was published and the quality of the editions hastily compiled after her death has hampered appreciation of her work for much of the twentieth century.
		Comments here about Landon's poetry as often 'oblique, or held in reserve, or self-censored' suggest the way in which Landon has taken the complexities of tone and obliqueness of some of the women's poetry of the 1790s and added a new polish and a defiant and deliberate artificiality (p.
		Landon's poetry often replied to specific cultural events and objects, and the Selected Writings suggests this by including several illustrations, among them Landseer's portrait of Georgiana, Duchess of Bedford which faces "Lady, thy face is very beautiful" from verses from The Keepsake for 1829 (pp.

	Life of Letitia Landon - "Verses" by L. E. L. and _The Keepsake_ for 1829 - Electronic Editions, Romantic Circles
		The principal biographical sources on L.E.L. do not always agree about the facts of her life, and the word "mystery" appears so often in them (with words like "must have" and "presumably") that readers are well advised to view the story of her life, in any published form, as at least partly a documentary figment.
		L.E.L. was educated partly at home, by her cousin Elizabeth, and partly in residence for several months (according to McGann and Riess) or two years (according to Sypher) at a school run by Frances Rowden; previous pupils at this school included Mary Russell Mitford and Caroline Lamb.
		L.E.L.'s poems are, for the most part, metrical romances; generally sentimental descriptions of sentimental loves: it is nothing wonderful, therefore, that they have attracted the admiration of her female readers.

		Landon further underscores that artifice is valuable, desirable, and pleasurable with the number of artists—poets, musicians, and painters—that populate the volume.
		Landon’s heroine sings of love lost with no insight into her own situation because she is so enchanted with romance that she does not see the object of her affections clearly.
		Landon concludes the poem with those words, that title, “‘Lorenzo to his Minstrel Love.’” By ending the poem with a title, she refers back to the beginning of the poem and suggests that the entire work is Lorenzo’s tale.

		Landon's was a long-standing contributor to the Annuals and it might be argued that it was this experience with brief discourse genres which made it possible for her to reduce the story of Castruccio to a reasonably short five-act play.
		Landon speaks with the double tongue in which women writers were forced to express themselves in the Romantic period: the language of simultaneous affirmation and denial.
		Landon’s Claricha, and particularly the other female character of the play, Bianca, are distinguished only by their marginality, by having been brought up on the outskirts of history, as passive instruments of the actions of strong men such as Leoni and Castruccio.

	Jennifer Hardner ’01
		Letitia Elizabeth Landon was born in London in 1802.
		It was then that Landon began writing not only for the love of it, but in order to support her family which then consisted of her mother and her brother (her younger sister had already passed away).
		I have concluded that two factors led to the early demise of Letitia Elizabeth Landon: the men throughout her life, and the uptight views of the English.

		Landon's first volume of poems, The Fate of Adelaide, was published in 1821 before her work with the Gazette and was ignored by the press.
		Landon moved in with her grandmother in 1825 and, after she died in 1826, lived alone in an attic room above the boarding school she had attended as a child.
		Landon blamed the assaults on her character on her sudden lack of social protection and standing: “It is only because I am poor, unprotected, and dependant on popularity that I am a mark for all the gratuitous insolence and malice of idleness and ill nature.”

		Demonstrating their awareness of the demands of their readers, religious novelists are then seen to ‘undercut the attractions of Catholicism by associating it with women who are represented as inferior’, ensuring that Catholic women and their religion must be marginalised and separated off from the idealised domestic heroine.
		In sum, the character of the female model reveals a woman’s world that hovers in the borderland between the public and private spheres, arguing for an aesthetic interpretative strategy which privileges a model’s lived experience over her image on the canvas.
		Elizabeth Sewell’s Margaret Percival (1847) attacks Catholicism but nevertheless romanticises it, embodying it in the person of a beautiful, brilliant and aristocratic young widow, passionately loved by the protagonist.
