For someone who did not actually fight in the American Civil War,
Stephen Crane was extraordinarily accurate in his description of
the psychological tension experienced by a youthful soldier
grappling with his desire to act heroically, his fears, and
redemption. Stephen Crane's novel The Red Badge of Courage provides
an extraordinary take on the battlefield experiences of a young
soldier coming of age under extreme circumstances. His writing took
place a generation after the war's conclusion, at a time when the
entire nation was coming to grips with the meaning of the Civil
War. It was during this time in the late 19th century that the
battle over the memory of the war was taking place. This new,
annotated edition of the novel is designed to guide readers through
references made through Crane's characters and how they reflect
Civil War military experiences-specifically how "the youth's"
experiences reflect the reality of the multi-day battle of
Chancellorsville, which took place in Virginia beginning on May 1,
1863, and concluded on May 4 of the same year. The annotated text
is preceded by introductory essays on Crane and on the Civil War.
Crane's short story "The Veteran" is also included to allow readers
to better understand the post-war lives of Civil War soldiers.
Explains key background information for better understanding The
Red Badge of Courage Includes introductory essays on Crane and on
the Civil War Provides the full text for both Red Badge and Crane's
lesser-known short story "The Veteran" with comprehensive
annotations that illuminate the links between the stories and their
historical contexts
