Product Description:
In 1892 Stephen Crane (1871-1900) published 'Maggie, Girl of the Streets' at his own expense. Considered at the time to be immature, it was a failure. Since that time it has come to be considered one of the earliest American realistic novels.
'Maggie' is the story of a pretty child of the Bowery which is written with the same intensity and vivid scenes of his masterpiece - 'The Red Badge of Courage'. In her short life, Maggie 'blossomed in a mud puddle', was driven to prostitution, and died by her own hand while still a teenager.
Crane, who worked as a free lance reporter, was in many ways addicted to the low life of the cities. He died at the age of 29.
