His most famous work, \"The Red Badge of Courage,\" is a classic anti-war novel. Yet Crane longed for military honors of his own and pursued a career as a war correspondent that took him to battlefields in Greece and Cuba. The son of a repressive Methodist minister who preached that novels were a filthy vice, he not only took up writing as a career but engaged in a public battle on behalf of a New York prostitute, which ruined his reputation and cost him the friendship of Police Commissioner Theodore Roosevelt. An Easterner who fancied himself a cowboy, he spent his last years on a ramshackle estate in Englad, entertaining his close friends Joseph Conrad, Henry James, H.G. Wells, and Ford Maddox Ford.\u003cp\u003eIn the first accurate, in-depth biography of this legendary writer, Davis vividly describes Crane's short but endlessly fascinating life. Providing a radically new interpretation, she documents the chronic illness that plagued him from childhood and that accounted for the dramatic risks he continually undertook. \"Badge of Courage\" is the first biography to break through the common myths and misconceptions surrounding Crane and offer a full portrait of the man himself and of his literary genius.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Houghton Mifflin","offers":[{"title":"Badge of Courage: The Life of Stephen Crane | Linda H Davis | Hardcover | 9780899199344 | Used: Good | Back Stacks F 1744155","offer_id":48199812972696,"sku":"1744155","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/51wcwGUIfVL.jpg?v=1772564627","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/badge-of-courage-the-life-of-stephen-crane","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
