5.0 out of 5 stars The real Stephen Crane, December 30, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Correspondence of Stephen Crane, Volumes 1 & 2 [I & II] (Hardcover)

What better way to understand Stephen Crane than to hear him in his own words? This authoritative edition presents Crane's words in the context of recent scholarship that has shown the flaws in Thomas Beer's fictionalized biography of Crane. The letters that cannot be authenticated because no known copies exist (and because they may have been fabricated) are placed in a separate section with appropriate explanations.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Definitive Edition, August 28, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Correspondence of Stephen Crane, Volumes 1 & 2 [I & II] (Hardcover)

This is the definitive edition of Crane's correspondence and almost doubles the number of known Crane letters since the Stallman and Gilkes edition appeared in 1960. The sectional introductions constitute a short Stephen Crane biography. The footnores are concise and informative.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Definitive Edition, August 28, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Correspondence of Stephen Crane, Volumes 1 & 2 [I & II] (Hardcover)

Like all important university press books, this definitive edition of Crane's correspondence is expensive, but it almost doubles the number of known Crane letters since the 1960 edition edited by Stallman and Gilkes. The introductions to the various sections constitute a short and authoritative Crane biography. The footnotes are economical and to the point.
