Maggie: a Girl of the Streets

"Acclaimed by critic Alfred Kazin as ""a powerful, severe, and harshly comic portrayal of Irish immigrant life in lower New York,"" Stephen Crane's novel remains a classic of American literary naturalism and a realistic portrayal of slum life at the end of the 19th century. This edition reproduces the text of the 1893 first edition, rather than the later bowdlerized version."
