The Red Badge of Courage: Maggie, a Girl of the Streets ; And, Other Selected Writings : Complete Texts with Introduction, Historical Contexts, Critical EssaysThis comprehensive volume of Crane's work includes the first published editions of The Red Badge of Courage and Maggie: A Girl of the Streets, both of which were considerably toned down in subsequent editions for a genteel 1890s reading public.
