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 standard-bearer, who carries a flag.
ellauri144.html on line 541: The Red Badge of Courage garnered widespread acclaim, what H. G. Wells called "an orgy of praise" shortly after its publication, making Crane an instant celebrity at the age of twenty-four. The novel and its author did have their initial detractors, however, including author and veteran Ambrose Bierce. Adapted several times for the screen, the novel became a bestseller. It has never been out of print and is now thought to be Crane´s most important work and a major American text.

When one day a stranger accosted him there with a pistol, firing it off wildly (though happily missing his target), the author’s fear of the underclass took root. Thus, those ragamuffins in the Wild Wood, the knife-wielding, teeth-baring stoats and weasels who destroy property and have no respect for their social superiors – Rat, Toad, Badger and Mole – are his representation of the terrible face of anarchists, working classes and madmen rolled into one.
xxx/ellauri075.html on line 532: Tosiasiahan kuitenkin on että siinä missä kirjoitusajankohtanaan tämä epäilemättä oli radikaalia uutta (Crane ei alunperin löytänyt kustantajaa näin rajulle kirjalle joten julkaisi ensimmäisen version itse, tämä käännös ilmeisesti perustuu Red Badge of Couragen suosion jälkeen julkaistuun versioon), niin muu kirjallisuus on ottanut tätä aika haipakkaa kiinni. Ja minä kun en edes ole niin innostunut naturalismista, vaikka onkin todettava että jos jotain sen tyylilajin kirjaa pitäisi lukea niin tämä on reippaasti etenevänä pienoisromaanina varsin hyvä valinta...
