Smoke drifted lazily from a multitude of quaint chimneys. “It’s a lie! that’s all it is—a thunderin’ lie!” said another private loudly. His smooth face was flushed, and his hands were thrust sulkily into his trousers’ pockets. He took the matter as an affront to him. “I don’t believe the derned old army’s ever going to move. We’re set. I’ve got ready to move eight times in the last two weeks, and we ain’t moved yet.” The tall soldier felt called upon to defend the truth of a rumor he himself had introduced. He and the loud one came near to fighting over it. A corporal began to swear before the assemblage. He had just put a costly board floor in his house, he said.

Allen A thesis submitted to the Graduate School-Camden Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Liberal Studies written under the direction of Professor Richard M. Drucker and approved by ________________________ Richard Drucker Camden, New Jersey May 2011 i Abstract of the Thesis Life at War and the Illusions Created to Cope with War: A Study of Stephen Crane and Tim O‘Brien By Gaye L. Allen Thesis Director: Professor Richard M. Drucker This thesis will examine the fictional war novels, The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane and Going after Cacciato by Tim O‘Brien. It will examine the heroic illusions created by soldiers on the frontline as psychological coping mechanisms as a means to escape the realities of war. It will also examine how Stephen Crane and Tim O‘Brien create protagonists and characters that struggle to understand the conflicts within themselves as consequences of their developing point of view toward themselves, their war comrades, and their society‘s values and how each of these writers through observing battlefield experience comes to question the meaning of war and its effects. Stephen Crane and Tim O‘Brien investigate the moral and cultural values of their respective societies. Crane portrays the Victorian era O‘Brien examines1960‘s America. Each novel asks us to view their war with both irony and sympathy.

  • Benjamin F. Fisher the Red Badge of Courage Under British Spotlights Again
    Benjamin F. Fisher The Red Badge of Courage under British Spotlights Again hese pages provide information that augments my previous publications concerning discoveries about contemporaneous British opinions of The Red Badge of CourageT. I am confident that what appears in this and my earlier article [WLA Special Issue 1999] on the subject offers a mere fraction of such materials, given, for example, the large numbers of daily newspapers published in London alone during the 1890s. Files of many British periodicals and newspapers from the Crane era are no longer extant, principally because of bomb damage to repositories of such materials during wartime. The commentary garnered below, how- ever, amplifies our knowledge relating to Crane’s perennially compel- ling novel, and thus, I trust, it should not go unrecorded. If one wonders why, after a century, such a look backward might be of value to those interested in Crane, I cite a letter of Ford Maddox Ford to Paul Palmer, 11 December 1935, in which he states that Crane, along with Henry James, W.H. Hudson, and Joseph Conrad all “exercised an enormous influence on English—and later, American writing. .” Ford’s thoughts concerning Crane’s importance were essentially repeated in a later letter, to the editor of the Saturday Review of Literature.1 Despite many unreliabilities in what Ford put into print on any subject, he thor- oughly divined the Anglo-American literary climate from the 1890s to the 1930s. His ideas are representative of views of Crane in British eyes during that era and, for that matter, views that have maintained cur- rency to the present time.

Despite the popularity of Horatio Alger stories and the nation’s melt- ing pot roots, people were genuinely scared of what they viewed as the great, unwashed masses destroying their little piece of paradise. The power of Imagining the Primitive in Naturalist and Modernist Literature is in its revelation of how writers relied on the idea of the primitive to evoke the era’s fears and aspirations. Rossetti shows how the primitive enables writers across different eras to depict particular “qualities of American identity.” Rossetti makes an important contribution to the study of naturalist and modernist literature. By focusing on a character type, rather than a strictly defined era in literary history, she shows the fluidity of literary eras.

  • Stephen Crane's Private War: the Red Badge of Courage1
    Stephen Crane’s Private War: The Red Badge of Courage1 --Louis A. Renza, Dartmouth College In certain ways, Stephen Crane’s The Red Badge of Courage concerns more how a later American generation has forgotten the Civil War than a realistic depiction of how that war was actually fought from the viewpoint of the common soldier. Such forgetting paradoxically occurs through the way Americans remembered--and continue to remember--the Civil War: the emphasis on major campaigns won or lost, or, to use the title of a text regarded as one of Crane’s major sources for the novel, on “battles and leaders of the Civil War.” The Red Badge, of course, obfuscates both battles (is the scene Chancellorsville?) and leaders (Fleming’s army “superiors” go unnamed, the exception, “MacChesnay,” being an unknown regiment colonel). The major cause of the war is notable, too, for its having become virtually forgotten, perhaps motivated by middle-class, post-Reconstructionist sentiments; the only sign of it appears with the “negro” teamster who “sits ‘mournfully down’ to lament his loss of an audience” (Kaplan 277). In Crane’s novel, even the warring parties have lost their political specificity, being now reduced in cultural memory to visual metaphors, the “blue” and “gray” armies, as if mere figures in some game. One can regard such forgetfulness as a duplication, so to speak, of Crane’s general vision of epistemological solipsism. Just as Fleming never knows what his fellow soldiers are thinking (“His failure to discover any mite of resemblance in their view points made him more miserable than before” [2:428]), or from one moment to the next how to regard his desertion, so critics continually debate the issue of his final growth: either that he achieves it, or, relying on manuscript evidence, that Crane frames his protagonist’s own sense of growth (“He felt a quiet manhood, nonassertive but Renza: Crane’s The Red Badge of Courage 1 of sturdy and strong blood” [24:538]) in a definitively ironic (sic) light.

  • SUMMARY This Thesis Is an Investigation About Stephen Crane Who Was Born on November 1, 1871, and Died on June 5, 1900. He Was A
    UNIVERSIDAD DE CUENCA SUMMARY This thesis is an investigation about Stephen Crane who was born on November 1, 1871, and died on June 5, 1900. He was an American novelist, short story writer, poet, and journalist. Also this work is an analysis of his major work, The Red Badge of Courage. This investigation is focused on Crane´s life, how he grew up, why and how he became a writer. Another objective of this thesis is to see what kind of style he used in his writings; also it is necessary to review some important aspects of the American Civil War such as its causes, political aspects, and consequences in order to understand his famous work, The Red Badge of Courage, better. So the analysis of this work gives people an idea of the distinctive style which is often described as Naturalistic, Realistic, Impressionistic or a mixture of the three. Also this work shows how Crane wrote the novel without having had any battle experience thus making people who read this work think that Stephen Crane was one of the Civil War soldiers.

The novel was routinely named as one of the greatest war novels of all time although, interestingly enough, Crane had no personal military experience. As the story unfolded, members of a newly recruited Union regiment were debating a rumour: they were finally out of the war the next day and engaged the enemy. One young soldier, Henry Fleming, reflected on what would become of him when he got to battle - namely, would he run or would he stand and fight bravely? He enlisted because he wanted to be a hero, like the warriors of the Greek epics. His own mother, however, was not interested in his notions of bravery, and discouraged him from being enlisted. When he told her he's joined the army, she denied him a farewell scene and merely said if he found himself in a situation where he would be killed or may do something wrong, he would go with his feelings.
