Description

Stephen Crane's innovative work, published in 1893 at just twenty-one years old, broke new ground with its vivid characters and brutal naturalism. This harrowing tale of life in the slums is a searing portrayal of turn-of-the-century New York, both powerful and harshly comic. The collection includes "Maggie", "George's Mother", and other Bowery tales, as well as Crane's comprehensive selection of New York journalism. All texts are presented in their definitive versions, offering a comprehensive view of this influential author's work. This edition provides the most accessible introduction to Crane's groundbreaking writing style, which remains both severe and empathetic.
