Stephen Crane, Journalism, and the Making of Modern American Literature

Portrays Crane (1871-1900) as an exemplar of the shift in American novels between an earlier antagonism toward journalists to the embracing of journalism beginning in about the 1890s. He was the first of the post-Civil War reporters to win fame, and ennobled journalism by continuing to write for newspapers after becoming a successful novelist. Paper edition (10969-5), $16.50.
