Frank Cyril Shaw Davison (original) (raw)

Frank Cyril Shaw Davison (February 3, 1893 – March 31, 1960) was a Canadian-born novelist who published under the nom de plume Pierre Coalfleet. He published four novels between 1921 and 1927. He adapted, and translated European plays, often in collaboration with Rita Matthias (Marguerite Julie Strauss). Davison's association with the American artist Marsden Hartley is well documented in Hartley studies. They met in Berlin in the early 1920's, and remained friends until Hartley's death in 1943.
