First published in 1893, when Stephen Crane was only twenty-one
years old, Maggie is the harrowing tale of a young woman's fall
into prostitution and destitution in New York City's notorious
Bowery slum. In dazzlingly vivid prose and with a sexual candour
remarkable for his day, Crane depicts an urban sub-culture awash
with alcohol and patrolled by the swaggering gangland "tough."
Presented here with its companion piece George's Mother and a
selection of Crane's other Bowery stories, this edition of Maggie
includes a detailed introduction that places the novel in its
social, cultural, and literary contexts. The appendices provide an
unrivalled range of documentary sources covering such topics as
religious and civic reform writing, slum fiction, the "new
journalism," and literary realism and naturalism. An up-to-date
bibliography of scholarly work on Crane is also included.
