Description: Easton Press The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane NEAR MINT Leather Gold This book is in NEAR MINT condition with no markings inside or out and no attached bookplates. 170 big pages The Red Badge of Courage is a war novel by American author Stephen Crane (18711900). Taking place during the American Civil War, the story is about a young private of the Union Army, Henry Fleming, who flees from the field of battle. Overcome with shame, he longs for a wound, a "red badge of courage," to counteract his cowardice. When his regiment once again faces the enemy, Henry acts as flag-bearer, carrying the regimental colors. The novel is known for its distinctive style, which includes realistic battle sequences as well as the repeated use of color imagery, and ironic tone. Separating itself from a traditional war narrative, Crane's story reflects the inner experience of its protagonist rather than the external world around him. Also notable for its use of what Crane called a "psychological portrayal of fear", the novel's allegorical and symbolic qualities are often debated by critics. Several of the themes that the story explores are maturation, heroism, cowardice, and the indifference of nature. The Red Badge of Courage garnered widespread acclaim. Adapted several times for the screen, the novel became a bestseller. Never out of print, it is Crane's most important work and a major American text.
