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.”\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\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.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadview Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66233394495837,"sku":null,"price":34.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/3893\/2573\/files\/9781551111353.jpg?v=1792202305","url":"https:\/\/shop.gazellebookservices.co.uk\/products\/letitia-elizabeth-landon-selected-writings","provider":"Gazelle Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
