He began writing at a young age and left university to work as a reporter. His notable works include "Maggie: A Girl of the Streets" (1893), considered the first American Naturalistic novel, and "The Red Badge of Courage" (1895), a Civil War novel despite his lack of battle experience. Crane's life included a scandal, war correspondence in Cuba, and a lasting relationship with Cora Taylor. He faced financial and health challenges, ultimately succumbing to tuberculosis in Germany at age 28. Though initially forgotten, he was later recognized for his intense, dialect-rich, and ironic writing, influencing writers like Ernest Hemingway and inspiring Modernists and Imagists."-Wikipedia ¶
