a story of New York
About this book
This edition of Maggie reprints Crane's original, unexpurgated 1893 text and includes many additional contemporary documents chosen to help reconstruct the historical, cultural, and social milieu of late-nineteenth-century America.
A general introduction providing cultural and historical background, a chronology of Stephen Crane's life and times, an introduction to each thematic group of documents, headnotes, extensive annotations, illustrations, and a selected bibliography make this a definitive scholarly edition of Crane's classic short novel.
