Letitia Elizabeth Landon

Landon, Letitia Elizabeth

August 4, 1802 – October 15, 1838 (aged 36)

Birth place: Chelsea, Middlesex, England, UK

Landon was the editor, and major contributor, to this annual from 1832-1839, with additional poems published posthumously in the next two years. The annuals generally consisted of art plates provided to the editor, who would then write poems, or have other contributors write poems, describing the scene, as they saw it. Since the one annual included here contains three poems that are speculative in nature, it is likely that other of the annuals contain such poems as well, but we have not analyzed those.
