Not on viewWeb CommentaryIsabella Stewart Gardner and the novelist F. Marion Crawford bonded over a love of the Italian poet Dante. Their close relationship inspired rumors of an affair. It is impossible to know whether or not the two had a physical affair, but the surviving traces of their mutual admiration have romantic undertones. This photograph is just one of the many letters, books, and manuscripts Isabella displayed in the Crawford/Chapman Case.
