Product Description
1923. If the definition that man is a laughing animal is true, then Crane was neither one nor the other. He was but a hurried visitor on this earth on which he had so little reason to be joyous. His first novel, "Maggie: A Girl of the Streets", was considered a signpost in the development of literary realism and he also wrote many short stories in an impressionistic style. Crane spent two years as a war correspondent in Greece and Cuba. This is a wonderful biographical account of the man and his life.

Interesting biography of a hard subject April 18, 2000
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is the first biography and one of the few available about Steven Crane, published about a decade after his death, by a personal associate of Crane's (Thomas Beer - a contemporary author in his own right). Beer does a good job at dispelling popular myths at the time of Crane's death about Crane's life. Probably of most interest to those reading Crane's work and wish to know more about Crane. Published in 1933.
