  • Description
    Stephen Crane’s The Red Badge of Courage is a war novel, first published in 1895. Taking place during the American Civil War, it is the story about Henry Fleming, a young soldier of the Union Army, who flees from the battlefield. Overcome with shame, he longs for a wound, a “red badge of courage”. Having escaped into a nearby forest, he finds a group of injured men returning from the battle. A “tattered soldier” asks him where he is wounded, but he dodges the question. Among the group is Jim Conklin, who has been shot in the side and is suffering delirium from blood-loss. Jim eventually dies of the injury, defiantly resisting aid from his friend. Henry runs away from the injured soldiers and joins a retreating column that is in disarray. In the panic that ensues, a man hits Henry on the head with his rifle, wounding him. Exhausted, hungry, thirsty, and now wounded, Henry returns to his regiment, regardless of his shame. At the camp, other soldiers believe that his injury resulted from a grazing bullet during battle. They take care of him and dress his wound.

    Author Info
    • Stephen Crane (1871 – 1900), an American poet, novelist and short story writer is regarded as one of the most innovative writers of his generation. His writings are characterized by vivid intensity, distinctive dialects and irony. His novels evince naturalistic and realistic concerns like ideals versus realities, spiritual crises and fear, and social isolation. Although Crane is recognized primarily for The Red Badge of Courage, which has become an American classic, he is also known for his poetry, journalism, and short stories such as “The Open Boat”, “The Blue Hotel”, “The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky”, and “The Monster”. Critics find striking similarities between the stylistic techniques in Crane’s writing and Impressionist painting, which have led people to believe that he was not only an Impressionist, but was also influenced by the movement.
