Scholarly Paper aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Amerikanistik - Literatur, Note: 14 Punkte oder 1,3, Universität des Saarlandes, Veranstaltung: North American War Writing, 11 Eintragungen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Englisch, Anmerkungen: In dieser Hausarbeit habe ich mich intensiv mit dem Werk The Red Badge of Courage von Stephen Crane auseinandergesetzt. Obwohl Crane keinen Krieg persönlich erlebt hat, gilt sein Buch doch als eine der eindringlichsten Erzählungen auf diesem Gebiet. , Abstract: When it comes to American War Writing there are several important writers which come to ones mind. One writer, however, who will most probably always be among them, is Stephen Crane. Although his [...] contribution to the canon of American literature is fairly slight in bulk: one classic short novel, three vivid stories, and two or three ironic lyrics , he has achieved something very remarkable. [...] Crane, who later saw warfare in Cuba and between the Greeks and the Turks in his work as a correspondent, had experienced no fighting when he wrote The Red Badge of Courage. Yet anyone who has gone through warfare, from the time of the novel's publication (1895) until now, has testified to Crane's uncanny accuracy at the representation of battle. The fact that Crane's imaginative vision is so compatible with real-life experiences of people who have witnessed battle left foremost British and later on American critics in awe and quickly established his reputation as an author. Soon after its publication The Red Badge of Courage became a bestseller. While some people merely enjoy the book as a good read, others have digged deeper into the world of Stephen Crane in order to analyse his masterpiece. Thus it comes as no surprise that there are plenty of academic essays and reviews which deal with The Red Badge of Courage. One thing that is conspicuous throughout these essays and reviews is the ongoing discussion of whether the corresponding literary movement is actually naturalism. Stephen Crane's admirers regularly deny he is a naturalist out of what appears to be a fear of linking him with a circle of 'bad' writers. For a better understanding of their fear one should know that American literary naturalism has almost always been viewed with hostility. But there are also those who state that Stephen Crane will always be identified with literary naturalism. To throw light on the matter I will discuss, in this term paper, whether the novel contains any elements of naturalism. Beforehand I will briefly touch on the origin of naturalism and its evolvement and I will highlight the difficulties in defining the term of literary naturalism. <

1558006850 From Library Journal Like the Carroll volume above, this edition of the seasoned veteran provides a new twist. Crane's Badge was originally serialized in the New York Press in 1894, a year before the story was published in novel form. This volume offers both the slightly different serial version and the finished work. Though every library no doubt has numerous copies of Red Badge, academic and public libraries supporting American literature curricula should pop for this one, too, especially at the price. Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to the Paperback edition. Review Novel of the American Civil War by Stephen Crane, published in 1895 and considered to be his masterwork for its perceptive depiction of warfare and of the psychological turmoil of the soldier. Crane had had no experience of war when he wrote the novel, which he based partly on a popular anthology, Battles and Leaders of the Civil War. The Red Badge of Courage has been called the first modern war novel because, uniquely for its time, it tells of the experience of war from the point of view of an ordinary soldier. Henry Fleming is eager to demonstrate his patriotism in a glorious battle, but when the slaughter starts, he is overwhelmed with fear and flees the battlefield. Ironically, he receives his "red badge of courage" when he is slightly wounded by being struck on the head by a deserter. He witnesses a friend's gruesome death and becomes enraged at the injustice of war. The courage of common soldiers and the agonies of death cure him of his romantic notions. He returns to his regiment and continues to fight on with true courage and without illusions. -- The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature --This text refers to the Paperback edition..
