Synopsis "Letitia Elizabeth Landon - Castruccio Castrucani: "Travel is as much a passion as ambition or love" (in English)"
Letitia Elizabeth Landon was born on the 14th August 1802 in Chelsea, London. A precocious child she had her first poem published is 1820 using the single 'L' as her marker. The following year her first volume appeared and sold well. She published a further two poems that same year with just the initials 'L.E.L." It provided the basis for much intrigue. She became the chief reviewer of the Gazette and published her second collection, 'The Improvisatrice', in 1824. By 1826, rumours began to circulate that she had had affairs. For several years they continued to circulate until she broke off an engagement when her betrothed, upon further investigation, found them to be unfounded. Her words reflect the lack of trust she felt "The mere suspicion is dreadful as death" On June 7th 1838 she married George Maclean, initially in secret, and a month later they sailed to the Cape Coast. However, the marriage proved to be short lived as on October 15th, that same year, Letitia was found dead, a bottle of prussic acid in her hand.
