Product Description
Stephen Crane's first novel is the tale of a pretty young slum girl driven to brutal excesses by poverty and loneliness. It was considered so sexually frank and realistic, that the book had to be privately printed at first. It and GEORGE'S MOTHER, the shorter novel that follows in this edition, were eventually hailed as the first genuine expressions of Naturalism in American letters and established their creator as the American apostle of an artistic revolution which was to alter the shape and destiny of civilization itself.
Card catalog description
This edition of Maggie reprints Crane's original, unexpurgated 1893 text and includes many additional contemporary documents chosen to help reconstruct the historical, cultural, and social milieu of late-nineteenth-century America. A general introduction providing cultural and historical background, a chronology of Stephen Crane's life and times, an introduction to each thematic group of documents, headnotes, extensive annotations, illustrations, and a selected bibliography make this a definitive scholarly edition of Crane's classic short novel. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
