Synopsis
Originally published privately, under the name Johnston Smith, MAGGIE was written when Stephen Crane was 21 years old. It concerns Maggie Johnson, a tenement girl, who is treated brutally as a child by her alcoholic mother. She eventually escapes to her brother's friend Pete, who seduces her. Because she has dishonored herself, the family disowns her; when Pete leaves her, Maggie becomes a prostitute. Crane intended, in this novel, "to show that environment is a tremendous thing in the world and frequently shapes lives regardless."

Industry Reviews
"The true Stephen Crane was the Stephen Crane of the earlier books, the earliest book; for 'Maggie' remains the best thing he did."
North American Review - William Dean Howells (12/19/2002)
