Autorenporträt
Stephen Crane was an American writer known for his innovative contributions to literature, particularly in realism, naturalism, and impressionism. Born on November 1, 1871, in Newark, New Jersey, to Jonathan Townley Crane and Mary Helen Peck Crane, he was the youngest of fourteen children. He briefly attended Syracuse University before pursuing a career in journalism and fiction. His novel The Red Badge of Courage brought him widespread acclaim for its vivid depiction of war s psychological impact. Crane also worked as a war correspondent, covering conflicts such as the Greco-Turkish War and the Spanish-American War, experiences that influenced his later writings. His short stories, including The Open Boat, and poetry, such as War Is Kind, showcased his talent for exploring human struggle and existential uncertainty. Despite his literary achievements, he faced financial difficulties and suffered from declining health. He died of tuberculosis on June 5, 1900, in Badenweiler, Germany, at the age of 28. His experimental style and psychological depth influenced later writers, securing his place as one of the most significant literary figures of his generation.
