The collected short work of an American master, including The Red
Badge of Courage and Maggie: A Girl of the Streets.
Stephen Crane died at the age of 28 in Germany. In his short
life, he produced stories that are among the most enduring in the
history of American ficiton. The Red Badge of Courage manages to
capture both the realistic grit and the grand hallucinations of
soldiers at war. Maggie: A Girl on the Streets reflects the range
of Crane's ability to invest the most tragic and ordinary lives
with great insight.
James Colvert writes in the introduction to this volume: "Here
we find once again the major elements of Crane's art: the egotism
of the hero, the indifference of nature, the irony of the narrator
... Crane is concerned with the moral responsibility of the
individual ... (and) moral capability depends upon the ability to
see through the illusions wrought by pride and conceit--the ability
to see ourselves clearly and truly."
Great Short Works of Stephen Crane Includes: The Red Badge of
Courage; Maggie: A Girl of the Streets; The Monster. Stories: An
