Landon, Letitia Elizabeth

The Concise Oxford Companion to English Literature | 2003 | 484 words | Copyright

Landon, Letitia Elizabeth (1802–38), wrote under the initials L. E. L. She published between 1824 and her death a number of volumes of poetry, contributed to periodicals, and wrote several novels, of which the best is Ethel Churchill (1837). Her unprotected position as a woman in the literary world gave rise to various vague scandals linking her name to Maginn and, less certainly, to Bulwer-Lytton, who appears with his wife Rosina in her novel Romance and Reality (1831).
