Autorenporträt
Francis Marion Crawford (1854–1909) was an accomplished writer in the latter 19th and early 20th centuries, known for his masterful storytelling and versatility in combining elements of horror, romance, and the supernatural. Born to an American family of artistic lineage—his father was the sculptor Thomas Crawford and his mother Julia Ward Howe, a social activist and the poet behind 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic'—Crawford spent much of his life in Italy, a setting that features prominently in his works. One notable example is 'A Lady of Rome' which offers readers a captivating portrait of Italian society and culture through its rich narrative tapestry. Influenced by his cosmopolitan education and experiences, Crawford's literary style is characterized by vivid description and intricate plot construction, features that have endeared him to generations of readers and scholars alike. While his reputation has ebbed and flowed over time, recent studies have paid more attention to his contributions to the literary tapestry of his era, reinvigorating interest in his extensive body of work which includes novels, short stories, and historical texts.
