“Stephen Crane’s weirdly impressionistic The Red Badge of Courage is one of the first non-romantic novels of the Civil War–and the first non-romantic account to gain wide popularity. Crane scholar Paul Sorrentino introduces Red Badge to a new generation of readers for a greater appreciation of the novel’s effects and the circumstances in which it came into being. The text of the John Harvard Library edition is based on the first book edition, published by D. Appleton & Co. in 1895.” — Provided by publisher.
