Books by Stephen Crane

Stephen Crane (1871–1900) was an American novelist, journalist, and short story writer who died of tuberculosis at twenty-eight, having already written two of the most significant American novels of the nineteenth century. The Red Badge of Courage (1895) made him famous at twenty-four. His other major works include the novella Maggie: A Girl of the Streets (1893), one of the first American naturalist works, and the short stories "The Open Boat" and "The Blue Hotel." He worked as a war correspondent in Cuba and Greece and drew on that experience in his later fiction. His entire career lasted roughly a decade.
