Stephen Crane's Battles

Nine Decisive Battles Recounted by the Author of The Red Badge of Courage


Stephen Crane's Battles: Nine Decisive Battles Recounted by the Author of The Red Badge of CourageStephen Crane's The Red Badge of Courage, written in 1895, propelled him to international fame and placed him justifiably in the pantheon of American Literature. His vivid portrayal of war caused him to be offered journalistic assignments in Cuba and in the Greek-Turkish war of 1897. Although Crane wrote broadly as a novelist, poet and journalist, it is, perhaps, not surprising that he was drawn to and commissioned to write on the subject of warfare.

Über den Autor


Stephen Crane (November 1, 1871 - June 5, 1900) was an American poet, novelist, and short story writer. 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 ninth surviving child of Methodist 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 though he was active in a fraternity, he left Syracuse University in 1891 to work as a reporter and writer. Crane's first novel was the 1893 Bowery tale Maggie: A Girl of the Streets, generally considered by critics to be the first work of American literary Naturalism. He won international acclaim in 1895 for his Civil War novel The Red Badge of Courage, which he wrote without having any battle experience.
