Great Short Works Of Stephen Crane
Stephen Crane
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 fiction. 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.
