Stephen Crane's The Red Badge of Courage, Puffin Graphic Classic, Stephen Crane
This 1895 tale of young soldier Henry Fleming's initial experiences in combat during the Civil War still startles. Artist Vansant captures Fleming's uncertainty and fear quite well, sometimes through effectively understated facial expressions. Yet this adaptation oversimplifies Crane's portrayal of Fleming, ignoring or de-emphasizing the character's other failings: his egotism, his talent for self-justification and the "wild battle madness" underlying much of his later heroism. In Crane's...

Unbelievable as it may seem, Stephen Crane had never been a member of any army nor had taken part in any battle when he wrote "The Red Badge of Courage," But upon its publication in 1895, when Crane was only twenty-four, Red Badge was heralded as a new kind of war novel, marked by astonishing insight into the true psychology of men under fire. Along with the seminal short stories included in this volume— “ The Open Boat, ” “ The Veteran, ” and “ The Men in the Storm” — "The Red Badge of Courage"...

He lay down on a wide bunk that stretched across the end of the room. In the other end, cracker boxes were made to serve as furniture. They were grouped about the fireplace. A picture from an illustrated weekly was upon the log walls, and three rifles were paralleled on pegs. Equipments hung on handy projections, and some tin dishes lay upon a small pile of firewood. A folded tent was serving as a roof. The sunlight, without, beating upon it, made it glow a light yellow shade. A small window shot...

The novel is told through third person limited point of view. The narrator, who remains anonymous, conveys only the thoughts and feelings of the young soldier, Henry Fleming. Although author Steven Crane uses a formal style as he describes Fleming’s anxieties, the character’s dialect is rife with slang to convey the inexperience and unworldly-ness of the troops. “What th’ thunder we skedaddlin’ this way fer?” (63). The contrast between the formal narration and the characters’ informal vernacular...

The Red Badge of Courage, Puffin Classics Series, Stephen Crane
January 04, 2003: Do you have a lot of patience? No? Well, The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane is definitely NOT for you. It is a very dense book, and if you have complete focus, you can get through it with understanding it. He uses a lot of naturalism and impressionism in his writing which makes it a little more interesting. He also added little things in that are easy to notice. For example on every few pages there is a reference to a flag. The flag always has some kind of light...
