First published in 1895, this small masterpiece set the pattern for the tre atment of war in modern fiction. The novel is told through the eyes of Henr y Fleming, a young soldier caught up in an unnamed Civil War battle who is motivated not by the unselfish heroism of conventional war stories, but by fear, cowardice, and finally, egotism. However, in his struggle to find rea lity amid the nightmarish chaos of war, the young soldier also discovers co urage, humility, and perhaps, wisdom. Although Crane had never been in batt le before writing The Red Badge of Courage, the book was widely praised by experienced soldiers for its uncanny re-creation of the sights, sounds, and sense of actual combat. Its publication brought Crane immediate internatio nal fame and established him as a major American writer. Today, nearly a ce ntury later, the book ranks as an enduring landmark of American fiction.
