Crane, Stephen 

Born Nov. 1, 1871, in Newark, N.J.; died June 5, 1900, in Badenweiler, Germany. American writer.

Crane's literary debut was Maggie: A Girl of the Street (1893), which depicted the tragic fate of a woman worker and the hypocrisy of “decent” society. Social motifs increased in Crane's later work (the collection Midnight Essays, 1894). In The Red Badge of Courage (1895; Russian translation, 1962), Crane drew on Tolstoy's work to realistically portray war and its ordinary participants. Crane was one of the founders of war reporting in American literature. His psychological stories deal with the lives of children, the everyday routine of urban slums, and the tragic quality of life in the hinterlands. Crane combined realistic descriptions and psychological analysis with elements of naturalism and impressionism.
