Stephan+Crane

Stephan Crane is an author that is introduced in our new section of liturature we are beginning to transition into after Emily Dickinson. The literature that we will be delving into is Civil War Literature.

Although Stephan Crane was not even alive at the time of the last battle of the Civil War, he took an incredible amount of interest in the subject. He wrote as if he experienced it. He was passionate about the war and the vaules and emotions that came along with it. The works that he is best remembered for have to do with the American Civil War that he so much loved.

Stephan Crane only lived a short life, but the accomplishes he achieved in that bried period of time were tremendous and way more than some people receive in their entire lifetime of decades and decades. In his short twenty nine years of life, Stephan Crane established himself as a leader in the Naturalist movement and a famous, not to mention fantastic, writer in this time period.

Crane began working as a writer for a newspaper in New York City. This started off his outstanding career in writing. His experience in the newspaper business is said to be the influence and inspiration for his first novel. His first novel //is Maggie: A Girl of the// Streets (1893). This is thought to be inspired by Crane's experience as a newpaper writer in New York City because this book described the grim and raunchy details of the slums of the city. Because of his raw writing style, it was hard for him to find someone to publish his book. Therefore, he had to end up publishing his own book, and his career began...

Stephan Crane should be looked up to as a person who succeeded so much in so little time. This is a perfect example of shooting for the stars and reaching them. He had a goal and tried his hardest to win that goal. This drive to be what he wanted to be asked for a lot of Crane's time, determination, money, etc. It paid off in the long run and he reached his ambition. 1204149009

i find stephan crane to be an interesting person and writer. He was very interested in the Civil War a while after the Civil War happened, so he could be looked at as a civil war historian. But unlike what most historians do, he wrote stories about the Civil War and what it was like to be in the Civil War. He wrote stories about what it was like to live during civil war times. He did things different from what most historians would do, most historians would sit down and write a text book listing facts and dates of the Civil War but not him. He was more interested in what it was like to live back then, and he wrote these stories that have probably taught more about what the times were actually like. the stories are much more pleasent to read then text books are and more people and students are willing to read them. 1205466111

Stephen Crane wrote the Red Badge of Courage. Sure, he was a famous author, but none of his works compare to this. He wrote a novel that will forever be paired with the civil war, as All Quiet on the Western Front is paired with World War One. Writers like this are easily remembered by people of today. Even though not many people know of his other novels, Stephen Foster will still be remembered in this time frame. I wish we could learn more about all writers like this, because they wrote of a major turning point of this country while they were around in this time period. 1205470143
