Über den Autor


Born in Newark, New Jersey in 1871, Crane was the son of a Methodist minister who died early in Crane's life. His mother, also a writer, saw to his early education in strict Methodist schools. Crane spent only one semester at Syracuse University. Although he enjoyed literature classes and playing baseball, his desire to be a journalist superseded any academic interests. At the age of 19, he set off for New York City where he soon fit in with the bohemian artistic community that frequented lower Manhattan. Most of his short career was spent living mainly with relatives and friends in New York as he struggled to make a living writing newspaper articles and publishing works of fiction. The Red Badge of Courage, published in book form soon after In the Depths of a Coal Mine, in 1895 established his position as one of America's major writers. Together with Maggie, A Girl of the Street (1894) and a number of short stories, Crane is often viewed as an early American master of Realism and Naturalism. He died in Germany in 1900 of tuberculosis, after spending two years in Europe. His friendship with fellow writer Joseph Conrad sustained him in many ways during his long-suffering illness. The two were like brothers in their attitudes towards life and writing. He was survived by his common-law wife, Cora Howarth, who took his name, although previously married and never divorced, and died in Jacksonville, Florida in 1910. He had no children.
