Maggie
by Stephen Crane
This terrifying story of a young girl in the wilderness is a burning sight of the end of the century New York and Stephen Crane's most groundbreaking work. When released, it paved the way for its vibrant characters, brutal naturalism, and empathetic reproduction of the lives of the poor. It is both powerful and absolutely funny (according to Alfred Kazin) and remains a masterpiece of modern American prose. This edition features "Maggie and George's Mother," other Crain Bowery tales, and Crain's most comprehensive selection of New York journalism.
