Extractions: Booker T. Washington T he U.S. Civil War (1861-1865) between the industrial North and the agricultural, slave-owning South was a watershed in American history. The innocent optimism of the young democratic nation gave way, after the war, to a period of exhaustion. American idealism remained but was rechanneled. Before the war, idealists championed human rights, especially the abolition of slavery; after the war, Americans increasingly idealized progress and the self-made man. This was the era of the millionaire manufacturer and the speculator, when Darwinian evolution and the "survival of the fittest" seemed to sanction the sometimes unethical methods of the successful business tycoon.

Extractions: Stephen Crane's life was restless and uneven and intensely American. Born in Newark, New Jersey, the fourteenth child of a Methodist pastor, he was the typical American boy, playing baseball, boxing, and hunting. In college he became the youngest captain and the best shortstop the Syracuse University baseball ever had. His mother, who supported the family after her husband's death, died when Stephen was eighteen, and for the next five years he lived in New York and nearly starved. The Bowery slums and a medical students' boardinghouse were his alternating surroundings while freelancing his way to a literary career. His first novel, Maggie: A Girl of the Streets , was about the people he saw there. Publishers would have none of it: it was "too honest." So Crane borrowed money to have it printed himself, sold it on newsstands at fifty cents a copy, and at the end of a year had disposed of fewer than a hundred copies. Not until The Red Badge of Courage was published in 1895 did Stephen Crane reach success. Though he was born six years after the Civil War ended, Crane was widely praised by veterans for his uncanny power to imagine and reproduce the sense of actual combat. The editors who had formerly turned him down now hounded him for stories. Overnight the boy who often hadn't a roof over his head knew comparative security, but he spent what he earned as fast as he got it. In the best of his work, Crane shows a rare ability to shape colorful settings, dramatic action, and perceptive characterization into ironic explorations of human nature and destiny. Joseph Conrad said of "The Open Boat" that "by the deep and simple humanity of its presentation [the story] seems somehow to illustrate the essentials of life itself, like a symbolic tale." Crane's literary generation was a tragic one, also losing Frank Norris and Harold Frederic prematurely from its ranks.

From his work and his own penniless existence in the Bowery he drew material for his first novel

Literature Crane, Stephen, American writer, was born at Newark, New Jersey, on the 1st of November 1870, and was educated at Lafayette College and Syracuse University. His first story, Maggie, a Girl of the Streets , was published in 1891, but his great success was made with The Red Badge of Courage (1896), a brilliant and highly realistic, though of course imaginary, description of the experiences of a private in the Civil War. He was also the author of various other stories, and acted as a war correspondent in the Greco-Turkish War (1897) and the Spanish American War (1898). His health became seriously affected in Cuba, and on his return he settled down in England. He died at Badenweiler, Germany, on the 5th of June, 1900.

Their eyes glanced level, and were fastened upon the waves that swept toward them. These waves were of the hue of slate, save for the tops, which were of foaming white, and all of the men knew the colors of the sea. The horizon narrowed and widened, and dipped and rose, and at all times its edge was jagged with waves that seemed thrust up in points like rocks. Many a man ought to have a bath-tub larger than the boat which here rode upon the sea. These waves were most wrongfully and barbarously abrupt and tall, and each froth-top was a problem in small boat navigation. The cook squatted in the bottom and looked with both eyes at the six inches of gunwale which separated him from the ocean. His sleeves were rolled over his fat forearms, and the two flaps of his unbuttoned vest dangled as he bent to bail out the boat. Often he said: "Gawd! That was a narrow clip." As he remarked it he invariably gazed eastward over the broken sea.

Extractions: A Research Guide top The writings of Stephen Crane (1871-1900) are seen as a kind of watershed in the history of American Literature. His first novel, Maggie: A Girl of the Streets (1893), is recognized as one of the seminal works of American naturalism. Although this literary style had been established before the appearance of Maggie , Crane blazes his own trail, penning a realistic tale of life in the slums. He deviates from the theme of the individual being a helpless victim of environment and circumstance. His characters are influenced by the squalor of The Bowery, but are fully capable of making choices that, whether self-destructive or not, give them the power to determine their own fate. Two years later, with the publication of The Red Badge of Courage (1895), Crane seemed to completely uproot himself from any established literary tradition. Although the book featured elements of realism, naturalism, impressionism and symbolism, it stood alone in its overall effect on the reader. Never had there been a "war novel" written with such penetrating focus on the psychology of battle. Its publication marked the encroachment of modernism, with its unsentimental and unromanticized portryal of a young, scared soldier of the American Civil War. Crane was never able to write another novel with the creative force of

Extractions: and Other Lines by Stephen Crane Do not weep, maiden, for war is kind. Because your lover threw wild hands toward the sky And the affrighted steed ran on alone, Do not weep. War is kind. Hoarse, booming drums of the regiment, Little souls who thirst for fight, These men were born to drill and die. The unexplained glory flies above them, Great is the battle-god, great, and his kingdom A field where a thousand corpses lie. Do not weep, babe, for war is kind. Because your father tumbled in the yellow trenches, Raged at his breast, gulped and died, Do not weep. War is kind. Swift blazing flag of the regiment, Eagle with crest of red and gold, These men were born to drill and die. Point for them the virtue of slaughter, Make plain to them the excellence of killing And a field where a thousand corpses lie.

Extractions: var level = 2; FRtR Outlines American Literature The Rise of Realism: 1860-1914: Stephen Crane (1871-1900) Index Stephen Crane, born in New Jersey, had roots going back to Revolutionary War soldiers, clergymen, sheriffs, judges, and farmers who had lived a century earlier. Primarily a journalist who also wrote fiction, essays, poetry, and plays, Crane saw life at its rawest, in slums and on battlefields. His short stories in particular, "The Open Boat," "The Blue Hotel," and "The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky" exemplified that literary form. His haunting Civil War novel, The Red Badge of Courage , was published to great acclaim in 1895, but he barely had time to bask in the attention before he died, at 29, having neglected his health. He was virtually forgotten during the first two decades of the 20th century, but was resurrected through a laudatory biography by Thomas Beer in 1923. He has enjoyed continued success ever since as a champion of the common man, a realist, and a symbolist. Crane's Maggie: A Girl of the Streets (1893) is one of the best, if not the earliest, naturalistic American novels. It is the harrowing story of a poor, sensitive young girl whose uneducated, alcoholic parents utterly fail her. In love and eager to escape her violent home life, she allows herself to be seduced into living with a young man, who soon deserts her. When her self-righteous mother rejects her, Maggie becomes a prostitute to survive, but soon commits suicide out of despair. Crane's earthy subject matter and his objective, scientific style, devoid of moralizing, earmark Maggie as a naturalist work.

Extractions: Watching the men is a twenty-five year old journalist from New York who has signed aboard the tugboat as an able seaman for $20 a month. Although having just published a brilliant novel about war, the young man has never seen actual warfare. This trip to Cuba will be his first chance to see real warfare for himself. However, the voyage alone will be dangerous. The war in Cuba has been raging off and on for nearly thirty years, and many Americans have sought to aid the Cuban freedom fighters in throwing off the tyranny of Spain. But these attempts have sometimes resulted in severe consequences. In 1873, for example, the steamer Virginius sailed from New York with arms and ammunition for the Cuban rebels, in an illegal smuggling expedition known as "filibustering". She was intercepted by the Spanish cruiser Tornado [Tor-n-h-though] and taken captive into Santiago de Cuba.

Educated first at Claverack College he then went on to Lafayette College and then Syracuse University. While at Syracuse he is thought to have started work on his first book, Maggie, A Girl of the Streets "Later the same year, Crane started to write The Red Badge of Courage . Drawing on only his reading and his imaginative power the book was published in 1895 to great critical acclaim. "While on an expedition to Cuba in 1896 to report on the Spanish-American War Crane narrowly escaped death when his ship sank. His experience later formed the basis for his most famous short story 'The Open Boat'. "It was during this period that Crane first met Cora Steward, the madame of the Hotel de Dream in Jacksonville, Florida. She became his lover. Returning to New York in 1898, he was met by rumours not only about his common-law wife, but also that he was a drunk and a drug addict. Disgusted by this notoriety, Crane settled in England with Cora in 1899. While here he became friends with Joseph Conrad (to whom his work has been compared), H. G. Wells and Henry James.
