Stephen Crane
Stephen Crane (November 1, 1871 – June 5, 1900) was an American poet, novelist, and short story writer. Prolific throughout his short life, he wrote notable works in the Realist tradition as well as early examples of American Naturalism and Impressionism. He is recognized by modern critics as one of the most innovative writers of his generation. The ninth surviving child of Methodist parents, Crane began writing at the age of four and had several articles published by the age of 16. Having little interest in university studies though he was active in a fraternity, he left Syracuse University 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. In 1896, Crane endured a high ...

A Girl Of The Streets
A, or a, is the first letter and the first vowel of the Latin alphabet, used in the modern English alphabet, the alphabets of other western European languages and others worldwide. Its name in English is ''a'' (pronounced ), plural ''aes''. It is similar in shape to the Ancient Greek letter alpha, from which it derives. The uppercase version consists of the two slanting sides of a triangle, crossed in the middle by a horizontal bar. The lowercase version can be written in two forms: the double-storey a and single-storey ɑ. The latter is commonly used in handwriting and fonts based on it, especially fonts intended to be read by children, and is also found in italic type. In English grammar, " a", and its variant " an", are indefinite articles. History The earliest certain ancestor of "A" is aleph (also written 'aleph), the first letter of the Phoenician alphabet, which consisted entirely of consonants (for that reason, it is also called an abjad to distinguish ...

The Red Badge Of Courage
''The Red Badge of Courage'' is a war novel by American author Stephen Crane (1871–1900). Taking place during the American Civil War, the story is about a young private of the Union Army, Henry Fleming, who flees from the field of battle. Overcome with shame, he longs for a wound, a "red badge of courage," to counteract his cowardice. When his regiment once again faces the enemy, Henry acts as flag-bearer, carrying the regimental colors. Although Crane was born after the war, and had not at the time experienced battle first-hand, the novel is known for its realism and naturalism. He began writing what would become his second novel in 1894, using various contemporary and written accounts (such as those published previously by ''Century Magazine'') as inspiration. It is believed that he based the fictional battle on that of Chancellorsville; he may also have interviewed veterans of the 124th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment, commonly known as the Orange Blossoms.

George's Mother
''George's Mother'' is a novel by American novelist Stephen Crane, first published in 1896. The novel is a companion piece to Crane's earlier novel '' Maggie: A Girl of the Streets'', and the title character of that work makes a brief appearance. Background Stephen Crane began writing ''George's Mother'' in 1893 and finished it in November 1894. However, because its companion novel, ''Maggie: A Girl of the Streets'' did poorly commercially, he did not submit it for publication until 1896. Its original title was ''A Woman Without Weapons.'' After Crane finished ''George's Mother'', he wrote to fellow writer Hamlin Garland, triumphantly: "I have just completed a New York book that leaves ''Maggie'' at the post. It is my best thing.". Critics of the time, however, were less impressed; Harry Thurston Peck wrote that Crane should not "ask us to accept his old bones and junk as virgin gold." The book was also criticized, like ''Maggie'', for its frank depictions of vice; the sentence " ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Early years in Canada Barr was born in Glasgow, Scotland to Robert Barr and Jane Watson. In 1854, he emigrated with his parents to Upper Canada. His family settled on a farm near the village of Muirkirk.

After graduating, he taught in Walkerville and in 1874 became headmaster of the Central School at Windsor in 1874. During the 1870s, he wrote humorous pieces for various publications, including the Toronto ''Grip'', under the pseudonym "Luke Sharp", which he took from an undertaker's sign.

The Open Boat And Other Tales Of Adventure
"The Open Boat" is a short story by American author Stephen Crane (1871–1900). First published in 1897, it was based on Crane's experience of surviving a shipwreck off the coast of Florida earlier that year while traveling to Cuba to work as a newspaper correspondent. Crane was stranded at sea for thirty hours when his ship, the SS ''Commodore'', sank after hitting a sandbar. He and three other men were forced to navigate their way to shore in a small boat; one of the men, an oiler named Billie Higgins, drowned after the boat overturned. Crane's personal account of the shipwreck and the men's survival, titled "Stephen Crane's Own Story", was first published a few days after his rescue. Crane subsequently adapted his report into narrative form, and the resulting short story "The Open Boat" was published in '' Scribner's Magazine''. The story is told from the point of view of an anonymous correspondent, with Crane as the implied author; the action closely resembles the auth ...

The Monster (novella)
''The Monster'' is an 1898 novella by American author Stephen Crane (1871–1900). The story takes place in the small, fictional town of Whilomville, New York. An African-American coachman named Henry Johnson, who is employed by the town's physician, Dr. Trescott, becomes horribly disfigured after he saves Trescott's son from a fire. When Henry is branded a "monster" by the town's residents, Trescott vows to shelter and care for him, resulting in his family's exclusion from the community. The novella reflects upon the 19th-century social divide and ethnic tensions in America. The fictional town of Whilomville, which is used in 14 other Crane stories, was based on Port Jervis, New York, where Crane lived with his family for a few years during his youth. It is thought that he took inspiration from several local men who were similarly disfigured, although modern critics have made numerous connections between the story and the 1892 lynching in Port Jervis of an African-American m ...

The Blue Hotel
"The Blue Hotel" is a short story by American author Stephen Crane (1871–1900). It first appeared in 1898 in two installments in ''Collier's Weekly'', on November 26 and on December 3, 1898. It subsequently was republished in the collection '' The Monster and Other Stories''. Background It is one of the most well known of the short stories in the collection ''The Monsters and Other Stories''. Although it appears to be a reasonably simple tale about a man who encounters trouble following a stay at the Palace Hotel, several complex themes underpin the story and define many of the overarching themes in novels like '' Maggie: A Girl of the Streets'' and more generally, Crane’s corpus. Stylistically, the story breaks free from the norms of the period, often entering the realms of Expressionism, an unusual style to encounter in American literature.

The Black Riders And Other Lines
''The Black Riders and Other Lines'' is a book of poetry written by American author Stephen Crane (1871–1900). It was first published in 1895 by Copeland & Day. Composition and publication history In the winter of 1893, Crane borrowed a suit from John Northern Hilliard and visited the critic and editor William Dean Howells, who introduced Crane to the poetry of Emily Dickinson. Crane was inspired by her writing and, within several months, wrote the beginnings of what became his first book of poetry.Dooley, Patrick K. ''The Pluralistic Philosophy of Stephen Crane''. Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1993: 111. One friend recalled that he saw Crane's first attempts at poetry in mid-February 1894 and Hamlin Garland claimed in a later reminiscence that Crane brought him a pile of manuscripts the next month.Wertheim, Stanley. ''A Stephen Crane Encyclopedia''. Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1997: 27. Crane told friends that the poems came to him spontaneously and as pict ...
