About This Item
London: William Heinemann, 1896. First English edition. Hardcover. Orig. navy cloth. Teg. Very good. 148 pages. 16.5 x 11 cm. Crane self published the first edition in 1893. To his great dismay it sold so poorly, he was forced to give copies away. Today, he is recognized by modern critics as one of the most innovative writers of his generation. His writing in the realist tradition presents early examples of American Naturalism and Impressionism, to end unceremoniously in an early death at the age twenty nine. This English edition carries the sterling reviews of his successful "The Red Badge of Courage," as a frontispiece. Interior contents clean and fresh, front cover decorated and letter in gilt, spine faded.
