Kraszewski was born on July 28, 1812 in Warsaw, Poland, the oldest son of Jan Kraszewski and Zofia Kraszewska née Malska. He spent his childhood in his grandmother's mansion in Romanów in the Podlasie region, where he would come back eagerly when he was young.
Kraszewski went to schools in Biała Podlaska, Lublin and Świsłocz. He graduated from the University of Wilno in 1832.
Kraszewski was imprisoned for participating in the Revolution of 1831; thereafter he retired to his country estate and began his literary career. Kraszewski's early works were mediocre, but his first book of quality, Poeta i swiat (1839) ("The Poet and the World"), immediately won him national fame. Thereafter he wrote prolifically. He published the periodical Atheneum (Wilno, 1841-1851) while writing a great amount of prose and poetry on the history of Lithuania. In 1859 he moved to Warsaw, where he became editor of the Gazeta Codzienna, later the Gazeta Polska. The failure of the Revolution of 1863 forced him into exile, and he moved to Dresden and founded a publishing house. He was arrested by the Germans for espionage in 1883, and sent to prison. A year later he was released, and he traveled to Italy. He died in Switzerland, March 19, 1887, and was buried in Kraków. Kraszewski's works fill more than 500 volumes, but only a few are of lasting value. His literary career covers a period of 60 years; and his years in prison, far from hindering him, increased his productivity. He is credited with winning the Polish reading public away from French novels. A popular writer, he changed his mind with every new trend, and this is one of the principal reasons that his works seem so dated. Kraszewski's more famous works are: Wilno od poczatków do 1750 (1838-1840) ("Wilno from Its Beginnings till 1750"), Anafielas, a long poem in three parts (1840-1846), Chata za wsia (1854-1855) ("The Hut at the Village End"), Brühl 1874), Morituri (1874), Resurrecturi (1875), and, the most famous, Stara Baśń (1876) ("An Ancient Tale").

Just before the outbreak of the January Uprising, Kraszewski was politically active and thus, when the military activities began, he was announced persona non grata in Warsaw by the Petersburg-submissive local authorities and was forced to emigrate, leaving his family in Warsaw. In Dresden he became a one-person Polish institution helping the political refugees, and organising literary life and information about Poland. Throughout his adult life he took an active part in political activities, which resulted in him being sent to prison twice. He participated in dozens of social events, and more than once he had to stand up against public opinion.
In 1838 Kraszewski married Zofia Woroniczówna, related to the late primate and poet J. P. Woronicz. He did this against the will of his father, who thought his son wanted to reach too high. Once married, the couple settled in Wołyń. In 1853 - already parents to four children - they moved to Żytomierz.
