Landor's Cottage, descriptive story by
Poe, published in 1849 as a “pendant” to “
The Domain of Arnheim.” It is a detailed depiction of the New York country estate of a Mr. Landor, a simple but exquisite creation of architecture and landscape gardening, and a less elaborate counterpart of the rich domain described in the earlier story.
