Introduction By Alfred Kazin. 203 pages. paperback. CE2552. keywords: Signet Classic Paperback Literature America 19th Century 20th Century. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Published in 1893, Stephen Crane's first novel, MAGGIE: A GIRL OF THE STREETS, shocked a world unprepared for his grim and starkly realistic exploration of the destructive forces within and against us. In MAGGIE, Crane spins an unrelenting tale of a pretty young girl's fall in the turn - of - the - century Bowery . and reveals a sharply critical and provocative depiction of the irresponsibility of men toward women. The five other stories in this collection are tales of quiet tension and raw intensity, vivid sketches of small - town and city life, and war stories imbued with the irony of heroism - revealing the unique and stunning genius of Stephen Crane. In the tradition of Crane's Civil War masterpiece, THE RED BADGE OF COURAGE, 'A Mystery Of Heroism' cuts to the heart of the futility of war. And in 'The Monster', a brilliant novella of heroism and isolation, Crane probes beneath the tranquil surface of small - town life. Brilliantly constructed, extraordinarily lyrical, psychologically penetrating, the stories and novellas in this masterful collection are an enduring testimony to one of America's writers. inventory #31643 Store Stamp in Front, Otherwise Very Good in Wrappers.

"Stephen Crane (1871-1900) was a prolific American writer known for his innovation in Realism, Naturalism, and Impressionism. He began writing at a young age and left university to work as a reporter. His notable works include "Maggie: A Girl of the Streets" (1893), considered the first American Naturalistic novel, and "The Red Badge of Courage" (1895), a Civil War novel despite his lack of battle experience. Crane's life included a scandal, war correspondence in Cuba, and a lasting relationship with Cora Taylor. He faced financial and health challenges, ultimately succumbing to tuberculosis in Germany at age 28.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. [i]-[iv]+189; [blank]+[2 ad] pages with frontispiece, 11 plates inserted and text illustrations. Small octavo (7 1/2" x 5") bound in original publisher's red cloth with gilt lettering to cover and spine, black decorative symbols on front cover, deckle edges and head end pages stained orange-red. (BAL 4085) First edition. Stephen Crane was an American novelist, short story writer, poet and journalist. Prolific throughout his short life, he wrote notable works in the Realist tradition as well as early examples of American Naturalism and Impressionism. He is recognized by modern critics as one of the most innovative writers of his generation. The eighth surviving child of Methodist Protestant parents, Crane began writing at the age of four and had published several articles by the age of 16. Having little interest in university studies, he left school in 1891 and began work as a reporter and writer. Crane's first novel was the 1893 Bowery tale Maggie: A Girl of the Streets, which critics generally consider the first work of American literary Naturalism. He won international acclaim for his 1895 Civil War novel The Red Badge of Courage, which he wrote without any battle experience. In 1896, Crane endured a highly publicized scandal after acting as witness for a suspected prostitute. Late that year he accepted an offer to cover the Spanish-American War as a war correspondent. As he waited in Jacksonville, Florida for passage to Cuba, he met Cora Taylor, the madam of a brothel, with whom he would have a lasting relationship. While en route to Cuba, Crane's ship sank off the coast of Florida, leaving him adrift for several days in a dinghy. His ordeal was later described in The Open Boat. During the final years of his life, he covered conflicts in Greece and lived in England with Cora, where he befriended writers such as Joseph Conrad and H. G. Wells. Plagued by financial difficulties and ill health, Crane died of tuberculosis in a Black Forest sanatorium at the age of 28. At the time of his death, Crane had become an important figure in American literature. He was nearly forgotten, however, until two decades later when critics revived interest in his life and work. Stylistically, Crane's writing is characterized by vivid intensity, distinctive dialects, and irony. Common themes involve fear, spiritual crises and social isolation. Although recognized primarily for The Red Badge of Courage, which has become an American classic, Crane is also known for short stories such as The Open Boat, The Blue Hotel, The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky, and The Monster. His writing made a deep impression on 20th century writers, most prominent among them Ernest Hemingway, and is thought to have inspired the Modernists and the Imagists.

Hardcover. First English edition. 148 pages. 16.5 x 11 cm. Crane self published the first edition in 1893. To his great dismay it sold so poorly, he was forced to give copies away. Today, he is recognized by modern critics as one of the most innovative writers of his generation. His writing in the realist tradition presents early examples of American Naturalism and Impressionism, to end unceremoniously in an early death at the age twenty nine. This English edition carries the sterling reviews of his successful "The Red Badge of Courage," as a frontispiece. Interior contents clean and fresh, front cover decorated and letter in gilt, spine faded. Orig. navy cloth. Teg. Very good.
