Synopsis
Crane's novel, the harrowing tale of a young soldier in battle during the Civil War, is a masterpiece of 19th-century naturalism. Crane attended a military prep school and was obsessed with war all his life, but he wrote his masterpiece without ever having witnessed a battle--a fact he was always slightly defensive about. He read extensively about the Civil War, however, before he began to write, particularly the memoirs of survivors that were popular in the late 19th century.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "The cold passed reluctantly from the earth, and the retiring fogs revealed an army stretched out on the hills, resting."
Industry Reviews
"As to 'masterpiece,' there is no doubt that 'The Red Badge of Courage' is that, if only because of the marvellous accord of the vivid, impressionistic description of action on that woodland battlefield and the imagined style of the analysis of...the inward moral struggle going on in the breast of one individual--the young soldier."
Joseph Conrad
