The story of a young soldier, Henry Fleming, who flees a Civil War
battle, The Red Badge of Courage has been celebrated for its
depiction of both the physical action of battle and the
protagonist's internal struggle. Despite the precise and vivid
descriptions of the scenes of battle in his fiction, Stephen Crane
was not born until six years after the war had ended and never saw
military service. His novel altered the tradition of war literature
in its naturalistic emphasis on a single, ordinary man facing the
horrors of battle. This edition includes an important new
introduction by James Nagel, author of the book Stephen Crane and
Literary Impressionism and former president of the Stephen Crane
Society. Historically significant reviews and commentary from the
publication of the novel in 1895 are included, along with the
deleted Chapter 12 from the novel. The short story "The Veteran,"
in which the protagonist appears as an elderly man, is also
included.
