 | The Red Badge of Courage by Alfred Kazin, Christopher Bigsby, Daniel Marder, Donald Pizer, Ed Parker
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.
