Inhaltsangabe

This novel, universally acclaimed as a 'portrait of war', is known for its unique amalgamation of elements of naturalism, impressionism and symbolism, as it records the thoughts of Henry Fleming, a young Civil War recruit. Being intensely psychological in its approach, it portrays the emotional struggles Henry undergoes, like anxiety, fear and ego- all finally overcome by self confidence, as he pursues in his mission. Inspired by the war novels of Leo Tolstoy and the memoirs of Civil War veteran, Stephen Crane has depicted the war scenes and the lives of everyday folks and soldiers in a realistic manner. Rich with colour imageries and symbols, the novel drives home themes like self-preservation, manhood, bravery and value of human life.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Stephen Crane (1871 - 1900) was an American poet, novelist and short story writer. The ninth surviving child of Protestant 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, he left college 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.
