James Colvert writes in the introduction to this volume: “Here we find once again the major elements of Crane’s art: the egotism of the hero, the indifference of nature, the irony of the narrator … Crane is concerned with the moral responsibility of the individual … (and) moral capability depends upon the ability to see through the illusions wrought by pride and conceit—the ability to see ourselves clearly and truly.”
