Scope: Stephen Crane was the first American naturalist writer. He is considered to have an impressionist style, which maintains the theory that human physiology determines the way everything in the universe and everything outside the individual body and mind is perceived. (Magill, Critical Survey of Long Fiction) Maggie: A Girl of the Streets, a portrayal of social injustice, is one of his best-known works. Crane was a writer of poetry, journalism, novels, and short stories. Unfortunately, his literary career was cut short by his untimely death at the age of twenty-eight.
