Letitia Elizabeth Landon

“ F. J. Sypher reports that Miss Landon submitted poems to The New Monthly prior to that first published under L. E. L. (namely, Antony and Cleopatra in 1825) , so it is possible that ‘The Wind’ is one such. It does seem strange for such a poem to be the sole production of another poet.
The theme of a ship lost at sea is one that Miss Landon used a number of times and the style is at least compatible with her work, so, although the case remains unproven, I feel it right to record the poem here. ”
