During Stephen Crane's brief eight-year writing career, the giants
who dominated American fiction were Mark Twain, Henry James, and
William Dean Howells, but the major new influence on the literature
of the next half century would flow from the works of the
adventurous young man who flashed and spent his genius in the
1890's. The Red Badge of Courage, with which he first gained an
international reputation, remains his best-known novel, but his
aptitude lay more surely in the short story. "The Open Boat," "The
Bride Comes to Yellow Sky,'' and "The Blue Hotel" have become
classics of the genre, almost inescapable in anthologies of
American fiction, and "A Mystery of Heroism" and "The Upturned
Face," though reprinted slightly less frequently, are also familiar
to students at all levels. A genuine understanding of Crane and of
his complex artistry, however, calls for a broader knowledge of his
attempts to forge a modem aesthetic. Accordingly, this collection
joins six stories to those most commonly known: the remarkable
early experiments "Killing His Bear," "A Day in the Country," and
"The Pace of Youth"; the powerful, though flawed, "The Monster" and
"Death and the Child;" and the haunting anecdote "An Illusion in
Red and White." An introductory essay locates the stories in the
progress of Crane's career and offers penetrating critical
commentary.
