The Red Badge of Courage

The Red Badge of Courage

Edition:	Reissue
Author:	Crane, Stephen

Description: THE RED BADGE OF COURAGE, the harrowing tale of a young soldier in battle during the Civil War, is a masterpiece of 19th-century naturalism. Crane attended a military prep school and was obsessed with war all his life, but he wrote the novel without ever having witnessed a battle--a fact he was always slightly defensive about. Before he began to write, however, he read extensively about the Civil War, particularly the memoirs of survivors that were popular in the late 19th century.

Reviews...

Conrad, Joseph
"As to `masterpiece,` there is no doubt that `The Red Badge of Courage` is that, if only because of the marvellous accord of the vivid, impressionistic description of action on that woodland battlefield and the imagined style of the analysis of...the inward moral struggle going on in the breast of one individual--the young soldier."
