description: Published in 1893, Crane's first novel shocked a world unprepared for his grim and starkly realistic exploration of the destructive forces within and against us. Maggie tells of a young girl's fall in turn-of-the century Bowery. Five stories offer sketches of small-town and city life and war stories imbued with the irony of heroism.
