Autorenporträt
Francis Marion Crawford (1854–1909) was a prolific American writer noted for his many novels, particularly those set in Italy, where he resided for a significant part of his life. Crawford was born into a distinguished family; his father was the sculptor Thomas Crawford, and his aunt was Julia Ward Howe, the author of 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic'. Educated in the United States, at St Paul's School, and in Europe, at the universities of Cambridge, Heidelberg, and Rome, Crawford was a cosmopolitan who brought a rich variety of experiences to his writing. Best known for his works of historical fiction and supernatural horror, Crawford's narrative style blends rich description with elements of romance and adventure, seen vividly in his book 'Via Crucis: A Romance of the Second Crusade' (1899). This novel exemplifies his masterful storytelling and deep appreciation for historical detail. Crawford's literary output was substantial, with a keen interest in different cultures and an ability to weave complex plots, which earned him a place among the notable writers of his era. Although his popularity waned after his death, Crawford's work continues to be studied for its contribution to late 19th-century literature and its representation of cultural and historical settings.
