Though he died at 28, Stephen Crane was one of the most innovative and diversely accomplished writers of his generation. Here for the first time in one volume are all his most accomplished and best-known works. Crane's novels include The Red Badge of Courage, about a young confused Union soldier under fire for the first time; Maggie; A Girl of the Streets, a vivid portrait of slum life and a young girl's fall; George's Mother, about New York's Bowery and its effect on a young workingman fresh from the country; The Third Violet, about a Bohemian artist's country romance; and The Monster, a novella about sacrifice and rescue. The stories include masterpieces like 'The Open Boat,' 'The Blue Hotel,' and 'The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky,' as well as tales of childhood in small-town America.
