Autorenporträt

Edward Wilson Landor (1811-1878) was an English lawyer, scholar, writer, and one of the early pioneers in the British colony of Western Australia. Born in Rushold, Lancashire, he received some legal training and worked as a junior partner in his uncle's law firm. Landor's early life was marked by a romantic entanglement with his second cousin, Julia, which caused significant personal distress and ultimately led him to emigrate to Western Australia in 1841, seeking a fresh start. Upon arrival, he initially pursued farming ventures with his brothers but soon focused on practicing law as a barrister in Perth. He was known for his legal defense work, including his famous case in which he defended an Aboriginal man named Wiwar, who was charged with murder for an act permitted under Aboriginal law. Landor's personal life and professional endeavors in the new colony were shaped by his complex background and the challenges of adapting to life in a foreign land. In addition to his legal work, Landor contributed writings about his experiences in Australia, offering insights into the life and struggles of early settlers in the region.
