About This Book

With a new Introduction by Cedric Watts, M.A., Ph.D., Research Professor of English, Sussex University. During his tragically short life, Stephen Crane gained fame as a vividly distinctive writer. His stories of evolving American society are unflinchingly realistic and shrewdly ironic. 'Maggie: A Girl of the Streets' tells of Maggie's seduction and downfall into prostitution amid the harsh world of the Bronx, where life is a battlefield. The other tales offer a diversity of insights into social hypocrisy, child psychology, and the wild violence of the frontiersmen. Such violence is ruthlessly depicted in 'The Blue Hotel'. This collection of stories is replete with lively dialogue, ominous atmospheres, dry humour and graphic incidents. AUTHOR: Born in Newark, New Jersey in 1871, and dying of tuberculosis in 1900, Stephen Crane's short life saw him making a significant contribution to American literature. His Civil War novel, 'The Red Badge of Courage', is a classic, but it was as a short-story writer that he excelled, writing such notable pieces as 'Maggie - A Girl of the Streets.'
