The famous author of the historical US Civil War novel of The Red Badge of Courage was born in Newark, New Jersey.
Stephen Crane is actually associated with three different literary movements- literary realism, naturalism, and impressionism. One could say he is most associated with the "realism" AND "naturalism" movements, as "naturalism" is a more specified movement within the "realism" movement.
Stephen Crane was an innovative writer in the late 1800s. He wrote notable works in the Realist tradition, and early examples of American Naturalism and Impressionism. He first book, Maggie: A Girl of the Streets, is considered to be the first work of American literary Naturalism.
Readers might become more sympathetic to the effects of war.
He worked as a war correspondent in the Spanish-American War.
The statement that would best describe the reason an episode of war by Stephen Crane would be that it portrays life as it really is.
The courage of officers in battle is the theme.
The main theme of A Dark Brown Dog is that it represented how slaves were adjusting to getting new found freedom. the father represents the people who were unhappy about slaves being free, and i have no idea what the kid is.

The poem is ironic.
The losses of war are depicted in the three main stanzas, highlighting the loss, fear and pain that comes from war... and the two choruses first suggest the glory of war but end in an ironic tone.?
Crane is trying to show the futility of war by saying it is kind while it all it actually does is cause hurt, pain and suffering.
The lines "virtue of slaughter" and "excellence of killing" are both ironic and oxymoronic. As is the line "Great is the battle god, great, and his kingdom/A field where a thousand corpses lie" - Crane does not mean this literally, his repetition puts heavy emphasis on the great, and suggesting the kingdom of war is inhabited only by the dead clearly shows that you should not take this statement in a literal manner.
Around 1897 Crane married Cora Taylor, who ran a brothel in Florida. His marriage, coupled with his unorthodox personality, aroused scandalous rumors, including those that he was a drug addict and a satanist. Because of this slander Crane spent his last years abroad; he died of tuberculosis in Germany at the age of 28.
Stephen Crane's novel The Red Badge of Courage was published in 1895, and is based partly on the story of the Union infantry at the Battle of Chancellorsville (April-May 1863). Crane's fictional 304th New York Infantry is likely based on the 124th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment, which fought in both Chancellorsville and Gettysburg.
The Red Badge of Courage follows a young Union soldier, Henry Fleming, through his experiences during the American Civil War.
