The Red Badge of Courage, (Paperback)

<p><strong>Henry Fleming</strong> has joined the Union army because of his romantic ideas of military life, but soon finds himself in the middle of a battle against a regiment of Confederate soldiers. Terrified, <strong>Henry</strong> deserts his comrades. Upon returning to his regiment, he struggles with his shame as he tries to redeem himself and prove his courage.<strong>The Red Badge</strong> of Courage is <strong>Stephen Crane</strong>'s second book, notable for its realism and the fact that <strong>Crane</strong> had never personally experienced battle. <strong>Crane</strong> drew heavy inspiration from Century Magazine, a periodical known for its articles about the <strong>American Civil</strong> War. However, he criticized the articles for their lack of emotional depth and decided to write a war novel of his own. The manuscript was first serialized in December <strong>1894</strong> by <strong>The Philadelphia Press</strong> and quickly won <strong>Crane</strong> international acclaim before he died in June <strong>1900</strong> at the age of <strong>28</strong>.<strong>Henry Fleming</strong> has joined the Union army because of his romantic ideas of military life, but soon finds himself in the middle of a battle against a regiment of Confederate soldiers.
