Autorenporträt

Francis Marion Crawford (1854-1909), an American writer noted for his many novels, was born to an artistic and affluent family; his father was the sculptor Thomas Crawford, and his relative Julia Ward Howe was the author of 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic.' Educated in the USA, Cambridge University, and the University of Heidelberg, Crawford was a polymath, versed in multiple languages and initially sought a career in Sanskrit studies. Eventually, he turned to writing, first in India, then Italy, where he made his permanent home. His literary style incorporates his rich experiences and knowledge, often featuring exotic locations and historical details that appeal to a sense of romantic adventure and cultural depth. 'Don Orsino' (1892) stands as one of Crawford's many works that encapsulate such literary qualities. It is the third in the series following the lives of the Roman aristocratic Saracinesca family, preceded by 'Sant' Ilario' and 'Saracinesca.' Crawford's narratives often bridge the gap between the 19th-century sentimentalist tradition and the emerging realist movement in literature. His prolific output and distinctive style helped him to gain a significant readership during his lifetime, and his works remain a testament to his narrative talent and his ability to capture the interconnectedness of European and American cultural spheres.
