The American novelist Stephen Crane is now recognised by modern critics as one of the most innovative writers of his generation. Having won international acclaim in 1895 for his Civil War novel ‘The Red Badge of Courage’, Crane was prolific throughout his short life, creating notable works in the Realist and American Naturalism traditions. Now readers can enjoy Crane’s complete works for the first in publishing history in a single volume.
