CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Francis Marion Crawford
Novelist. (18541909)
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/16030a.htm

Extractions: Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... C > Francis Marion Crawford A B C D ... Z Novelist, b. of American parents at Bagni di Lucca, Italy, 2 Aug., 1854; died at his home near Sorrento, Italy, 9 April, 1909. In early manhood he became a convert to the Catholic Faith. His father, Thomas Crawford, was a distinguished sculptor; his mother, Louisa Ward, was a sister of Mrs. Julia Ward Howe. The greater part of his youth was passed at Rome, and, after having studied in various colleges in America, England, and Germany, he terminated his studies in the Roman University, where he attended the lectures in Sanskrit and comparative philology given by the learned Professor Lignana. At the same time he was already occupied with English literature. He afterwards passed four years and a half in the East Indies and the United States as journalist, critic, and finally novelist, up to the time of his marriage in 1884, when he took up his residence at the villa he had bought and remodelled for himself near Sorrento on the Bay of Naples. While Marion Crawford in his public life always professed himself a Catholic, he can scarcely be called a Catholic novelist, and his treatment of Catholic subjects in several of his works does not recommend itself to his coreligionists. In his Philip II, for example, he follows the traditional

Extractions: F. Marion Crawford, For the Blood Is The Life And Other Stories (White Wolf Press, 1996) F. Marion Crawford (1854-1909) was a popular author around the start of the 20th century. While his novels have fallen out of popular favor, several of his short stories of the supernatural have been reprinted and anthologized throughout this century. For the Blood Is The Life_And Other Stories gathers seven short stories that were collected in Wandering Ghosts On the whole, this is a solid little collection. Crawford was a very straightforward writer and there is none of the overblown flowery language sometimes used in the Victorian era. There is also very little of hidden or implied horror; the monsters and ghosts are shown forthrightly with no less impact for being seen in the light. Indeed, several entries aren't really horror stories at all, although all rely on elements of the supernatural. "The Dead Smile" is a chilling story, in which the death of a cruel father does not end the torments for his son, his niece (who is betrothed to the son), or the rest of the household. Although the atmosphere is appropriately tense, the resolution is disappointingly anticlimactic. (There is a possible implication in the ending that would make it more horrible but I don't think it's what the author had in mind.) "The Screaming Skull" is one of the longer stories in the collection, concerning a skull that, as the title states, periodically screams and a retired naval captain, who may be indirectly responsible for the death of the skull's original owner. The tension is emphasized by the narration being a first-person monologue by the captain, to a visiting friend, as the events occur.

Francis Marion Crawford was born in 1854 in Bagni di Lucca (Italy), to American parents: the sculptor Thomas Crawford (1813?-1857), and Louisa Cutler Ward Crawford (later Terry), Julia Ward Howe's sister. After education in Rome, Concord (N.H.), England, Germany, and India, Crawford went to Boston in 1881 to try writing and possibly politics. He returned to Europe after success with his first novel, continuing to write and in 1884 marrying Elizabeth Christophers Berdan, daughter of General Hiram Berdan, rifle inventor, engineer, and Civil War sharpshooter. The couple first lived with Crawford's mother in Rome, but, after the birth of the first of their four children, Crawford bought a cliff-side property in Sant'Agnello di Sorrento, Italy, which became the Villa Crawford. The growing family eventually adopted the surname Marion-Crawford.

F. Marion Crawford (1854-1909) was born in Italy, the son of the Irish-American sculptor, Thomas Crawford, and a sister of Julia Ward Howe, and was one of the most popular novelists of his day. With a cosmopolitan education (in Italy, America, England, and Germany) and extensively traveled (including a stint in India as a newspaper editor), Crawford was the living embodiment, for many, of the late 19th-century genteel tradition. His wide range as a traveler has contributed doubtless to another characteristic quality: his strength in unexcelled portraits of odd characters and his magical skill in seeming to make his readers witnesses of the spectacles.

Bertun Collection Dates: Extent: ca. 160 items Abstract: Correspondence, logbooks, reminiscences, and other papers, reflecting Bertun's career, especially his activities as captain of the steam yacht IOLANDA (out of New London, Conn.) and friend of its owner Morton F. Plant, and friendships with F. Marion Crawford and members of the Russian royal family. Identification: Coll. 216 Charles Anton Knutson Bertun was born in Alesund, Norway, September 28, 1868, and died in Decatur, Illinois, June 6, 1967. He went to sea at the age of 15, and was shipwreched in 1885 in the Norwegian Barkenting COURIER. He later became an American citizen in 1895, graduated from New York Nautical College and captained F. Marion Crawford's yacht, EZRA NYE, an ex-Sandy Hook pilot boat, in the summer of 1896 from New York to Sorrento, Italy. The Fall Bertun joined the American Line (International Navigation Company) as fourth officer, gradually working his way through the grades until he commanded the ocean-going steam yacht, ALVINA, owned by the company president. In 1903 he became Marine Superintendent of the Line. A merger of the Company with several others resulted in a general reorganization of personnel, and rather than taking command of small vessels, Captain Bertun became master of the steam yacht, VENETIA, owned by Morton Plant of New London, Connecticut. He then commanded the IOLANDA, built by Plant in 1908. In 1911 the vessel was sold to Plant's Russian friend Mme. Elisabeth Teretchenko.

Extractions: Marion is diminutive form of Marie , the French form of Maria , the Latin form of a Hebrew (or Egyptian) name: Miriam Mariamne , or Myriam . The meaning is disputed. Some suggestions include: "Wished for Child," "Bitterness," or "Drop of the Sea," or "Rebelliousness." Until recently, in France, it was common for boys to be named Marie in honor of the Virgin Mary. Its diminutive, Marion , was considered both a feminine and a masculine name as well (perhaps most famously in the case of Marion Michael Morrison, who became John Wayne). In the United States, however, Marion was soon confused with Marianne , and is far more common as a feminine name.
