David Halliburton's book is a richly textured study of the complete writingsof Stephen Crane, including Maggie: A Girl of the Streets, The Red Badge of Courage, and the less well-known fiction, newswriting, and poetry. Offering close readings of the works within a broad framework, Halliburton sets out to explore the imaginative world Crane created in his total ouvre of fiction, poetryand reportage. Comparative and interdisciplinary methods, combined with insights from historians such as Toynbee and Hofsteader, enable Halliburton to shedlight on a number of issues. These include Crane's interest in musicality, the importance of his poetry and journalism to his other writings, the phenomenology of his social structures, his mastery of prosody, and the relation of hiswritings to the ideas of thinkers such as William James, Santayana, Weber andSartre. This ambitious and comprehensive book sets a standard by which to measure all future interpretations of Crane.
