Red Badge of Courage, The

By: Stephen Crane

Published thirty years after the Civil War, Stephen Crane’s classic tells the story of war through the raw, unfiltered perspective of a young Union soldier, Henry Fleming. Far from glorifying battle, it explores Henry’s inner conflict—his fear, shame, and ultimate growth—as he confronts the harsh realities of combat. A groundbreaking portrayal of war’s psychological toll, The Red Badge of Courage remains a powerful read for senior high students and an essential piece of American literature.

Published thirty years after the Civil War, this impressionistic American classic tells a war story in a thoroughly modern way - without a trace of romanticizing. Through the eyes of ordinary soldier Henry Fleming, we follow his psychological turmoil, from the excitement of patriotism to the bloody realities of battle and his flight from it. In the end, he overcomes his fear and disillusionment, and fights with courage. The first great 'modern' novel of war by an American. For Sr. Highschool readers.
