The essential Crane

This work contains the essential Crane including 'The Red Badge of Courage' and 'Maggie: A girl of the streets". It also contains Crane's most famous story, "The Open Boat" a selection of his poetry, and many illuminating personal letters. Crane by the time he passed from the world at the age of twenty- nine had already written the masterwork ,"The Red Badge of Courage" which would make him part of the American canon. His deep kind of poetic realism, his journalistic searching among the ordinary people, his reporting upon horrifying realities with a kind of mature brilliance and wisdom make him an American classic. Troubled and incomplete as his life was he nonetheless managed to make a work of enduring value.
