Robert Edward Francillon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
English journalist and author

Robert Edward Francillon (1841–1919) was an English journalist and author. He was active in the later decades of the 19th century, and rose to be managing editor ofThe Globe.

Life and career

[edit]

Born inGloucester,[1] Francillon trained as a barrister but turned to journalism. He was at various times a contributor toBlackwood's Magazine and an editor ofTatler. He contributed for many years to the Christmas numbers ofThe Gentleman's Magazine,[2] and sold many short stories to newspapers. (Most of those that were published in Australia can be read on-line thanks to theTrove service of the National Library of Australia.) His novelJack Doyle's Daughter lets aLincolnshire gentleman loose in Bohemian London. It has been called an "incoherent" tale involving an "heiress with six possible fathers".[3]

Francillon's review "George Eliot's First Romance (1876)" defendsDaniel Deronda from early critics. He notes that as a romance it differs in kind fromAdam Bede orMiddlemarch: "It lies so far outside George Eliot's other works in every important respect as to make direct comparison impossible."[4]

In 1890, Francillon was reported to be the managing editor of the London newspaperThe Globe.[5]

Along withSwinburne, Francillon, belonged toThomas Purnell's literary club "Decemviri", and was an early member of theneo-Jacobite body known as theOrder of the White Rose.[citation needed]Francillon married a daughter of the composerJohn Barnett, who was also a goddaughter ofFranz Liszt.[6]
