Jane C. Loudon
Jane Wells Webb Loudon (19 August 1807 – 13 July 1858) was an English author and early pioneer of science fiction. She wrote before the term was invented, and was discussed for a century as if she wrote Gothic fiction, or fantasy or horror. She also created the first popular gardening manuals, as opposed to specialist horticultural works, and contributed to the work of her husband, John Claudius Loudon.〔
==Early life==
Jane Webb was born in 1807 to Thomas Webb, Esq., a wealthy manufacturer from Edgbaston, Birmingham and his wife. (Sources vary on her place of birth: according to the ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'' (ODNB), she was born at ''Ritwell House''—possibly the same as ''Kitwell House'' at Bartley Green.) After the death of her mother in 1819, she travelled Europe for a year with her father, learning several languages. On their return his business faltered, and as a consequence of over speculation, his fortune was lost. He sold the house in Edgbaston and they moved to another of his properties, ''Kitwell House'' at Bartley Green, 6 miles away. He died penniless in 1824, when Jane Webb was only 17.〔("Profile of Jane Loudon" ), ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography''. (Oxforddnb.com), Retrieved on 5 April 2012.〕〔(Lisa Hopkins, "Jane C.
