A famous poet, a mysterious death and a story stranger than
fiction. - this is the lost life and mytserious death of the
'Female Byron' On 15 October 1838, the body of a
thirty-six-year-old woman was found in Cape Coast Castle, West
Africa, a bottle of prussic acid in her hand. She was one of the
most famous English poets of her day: Letitia Elizabeth Landon,
known by her initials 'L.E.L.' What was she doing in Africa? Was
her death an accident? Had she committed suicide, or even been
murdered? To her contemporaries, she was an icon, hailed as the
'female Byron'. However, she was also a woman with secrets, the
mother of three illegitimate children whose existence was
subsequently wiped from the record. After her death, she became the
subject of a cover-up which this book unravels, excavating with it
a whole lost literary culture. FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE BRONTE MYTH
