Stephen Crane's The Red Badge of Courage endures as the definitive artistic statement of the American Civil War. Frustrated by the soulless tales of glory available during his time, Crane
connected the reader to the premature pride, the inner conflicts, the terror in the soldier's mind. Published in 1895, The Red Badge of Courage established Crane's reputation as a major figure
in American literature. The novel has never been out of print.This edition is designed for use in secondary classrooms. Four or five-chapter readings are briefly introduced and are followed by
reading quizzes. Each quiz includes multiple-choice "reading," vocabulary, literary terms, essay, and critical thinking sections.
