The Monsters And Their Racial Identities In Frankenstein And The Strange Case Of Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde, Sara N. Rodia 2023 Saint John's University, Jamaica New York

The Monsters And Their Racial Identities In Frankenstein And The Strange Case Of Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde, Sara N. Rodia

Theses and Dissertations

Further, Shelley demonstrates the monstrous nature …

George Maclean, Letitia Landon, And The Rumour Of An Edinburgh Fiancée, David E. Latane 2023 Virginia Commonwealth University

George Maclean, Letitia Landon, And The Rumour Of An Edinburgh Fiancée, David E. Latane

English Publications

Brief discussion of an unindexed note found in the microfilmed archives of the publisher Richard Bentley and Son that makes a claim regarding the puzzling marriage of the poet Letitia Elizabeth Landon ("L.E.L.) and the Scottish colonial administrator George Maclean. The note retails gossip about Landon's seduction by William Jerdan, and makes claims that her later marriage to George Maclean was marred by Maclean's having made a prior engagement with a Scottish woman, who later died when her dress caught fire.
