Francis Marion Crawford was an American writer who lived in the period 1854 – 1909. His literary legacy consists mainly of novels, a big part of which are set in Italy, the place where he spent most of his life. Crawford objected to the realistic fiction that was popular at the time and he preferred writing romantic novels with vivid and colorful depictions. Some of his best known works are the “Don Orsino”, “Sant’ Ilario” and “Corleone” but he also wrote several short stories, which are often described as classics of the horror genre. Although Francis Crawford lived in Italy, wrote about Italy and stood apart from the American literature, he had a strong connection with his homeland and travelled there often.
Francis Marion Crawford
Francis Marion Crawford (1854-1909) was an American novelist. Born in Tuscany, he was the son of sculptor Thomas Crawford and Louisa Cutler Ward. The nephew of Julia Ward Howe, who wrote “The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” Crawford was raised in a distinguished family of artists and intellectuals. In 1879, after studying at Cambridge University, the University of Heidelberg, and the University of Rome, Crawford travelled to India. He learned Sanskrit and edited The Indian Herald in Allahabad before returning to the United States to study at Harvard University. In 1882, he published Mr. Isaacs, his first novel. Crawford moved to Italy in 1883 and commenced his career as a bestselling author of historical and romance fiction. He earned critical acclaim for his Saracinesca series, an epic story of family, religion, politics, crime, and desire set in nineteenth century Rome. Crawford was also a pioneer of the horror and fantasy genres—his tales of ghosts and genies are frequently anthologized and remain popular to this day. His works have been adapted for the cinema more than a dozen times in Italy, the United Kingdom, and Mexico.
