Yet he also harbors a hidden fear about how he may react when the horror and bloodshed of battle begin. Fighting the enemy without and the terror within, Fleming must prove himself and find his own meaning of valor. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnbelievable as it may seem, \u003cb\u003eStephen Crane\u003c\/b\u003e had never been a member of any army nor had taken part in any battle when he wrote \u003ci\u003eThe Red Badge of Courage\u003c\/i\u003e. But upon its publication in 1895, when Crane was only twenty-four, Red Badge was heralded as a new kind of war novel, marked by astonishing insight into the true psychology of men under fire. Along with the seminal short stories included in this volume—“The Open Boat,” “The Veteran,” and “The Men in the Storm”—\u003ci\u003eThe Red Badge of Courage\u003c\/i\u003e unleashed Crane’s deeply influential impressionistic style. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRichard Fusco\u003c\/b\u003e has been an Assistant Professor of English at Saint Joseph’s University in Philadelphia since 1997.
