Description
Written by Stephen Crane at the age of twenty-one, 'The Red Badge of Courage' is one of the greatest war novels of all time--so groundbreaking that critics consider it to be the first work of modern American fiction.

Description
"In tones alternately sardonic and rueful, Stephen Crane's poems, although small in scale, address immense problems of cosmic justice and the purpose of human life. They are not quite like anything else in American poetry: uncompromisingly harsh, gnomic, deliberately anti-poetic, and shot through with unforgettable phrases and perceptions.
