In 1879 he went to See also:India, where he studied See also:Sanskrit and edited the See also:Allahabad See also:Indian See also:Herald
.
Returning to See also:America he continued to study Sanskrit at Harvard University for a See also:year, contributed to various See also:periodicals, and in 1882 produced his first novel, Mr Isaacs, a brilliant See also:sketch of See also:modern Anglo-Indian See also:life mingled with a See also:touch of See also:Oriental See also:mystery
.
This See also:book had an immediate success, and its author's promise was confirmed by the publication of Dr See also:Claudius (1883)
.
After a brief See also:residence in New See also:York and See also:Boston, in 1883 he returned to Italy, where he made his permanent See also:home
.
This accounts perhaps for the fact that, in spite of his See also:nationality, See also:Marion Crawford's books stand apart from any distinctively American current in literature
.
Year by See also:wear he published a number of successful novels: A
See also:Roman See also:Singer (1884), An American Politician (1884), To Leeward (1884), Zoroaster (1885), A See also:Tale of a Lonely See also:Parish (1886), Marzio's Crucifix (1887), Saracinesca (1887), Paul Patoff (1887), With the Immortals (1888), Greifenstein (1889), Sant' Ilario (1889), A Cigarette-maker's See also:Romance (189o), Khaled (1891), The See also:Witch of See also:Prague (1891), The Three Fates (1892), The See also:Children of the See also:- KING

.
In these his intimate knowledge of See also:local See also:Italian history combines with the romancist's imaginative See also:faculty to excellent effect
.
But his See also:place in See also:con-temporary literature depends on his novels
.
He was a gifted narrator, and his books of fiction, full of historic vitality and dramatic characterization, became widely popular among readers to whom the See also:realism of " problems " or the eccentricities of subjective See also:analysis were repellent, for he could unfold a romantic See also:story in an attractive way, setting his See also:plot amid picturesque surroundings, and gratifying the reader's intelligence by a See also:style at once straightforward and accomplished
.
The Saracinesca See also:series shows him perhaps at his best
.
A Cigarette-maker's Romance was dramatized, and had considerable popularity on the See also:stage as well as in its novel See also:form; and in 1902 an See also:original See also:play from his See also:pen, Francesca da See also:Rimini, was produced in See also:Paris by Sarah See also:Bernhardt
.
