In Henry Flemming, Stephen Crane creates a great and realistic study of the mind of an inexperienced soldier trapped in the fury and turmoil of war. Flemming dashes into battle, at first tormented by fear, then bolstered with courage in time for the final confrontation.

Although the exact battle is never identified, Crane based this story of a soldier’s experiences during the American Civil War on the 1863 Battle of Chancellorsville. Many veterans, both Union and Confederate, praised the book’s accurate representation of war, and critics consider its stylistic strength the mark of a literary classic.

Following its initial appearance in serial form, Stephen Crane’s The Red Badge of Courage was published as a complete work in 1895 and quickly became the benchmark for modern anti-war literature.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Stephen Crane

Stephen Crane nasceu a 1 de novembro de 1871, em Newark, New Jersey.
Após frequentar o Claverack College – Hudson River Institute, Crane ingressou no Lafayette College, em 1890 e, no fim do primeiro semestre, já acumulara «deficiências académicas» suficientes para garantir a sua saída. Pouco depois, ingressou na Universidade de Syracuse. Mas também aqui a sua estada não se prolongou, já que passava a maior parte do tempo a jogar baseball. Apesar de ter conseguido a nota máxima em Literatura Inglesa, reprovou a tudo o resto.
O interesse de Crane pela guerra deu origem a uma obra-prima. Em 1895, é publicado The Red Badge of Courage, um grande êxito, tanto nos Estados Unidos como em Inglaterra, e que o torna internacionalmente célebre.
A sua morte prematura, aos 28 anos, parece ter posto fim a uma vida inteira.
