First Edition of Stephen Crane's Maggie: A Child of the Streets
First edition of this work which ranks among the first works of American naturalism. Octavo, original cloth, gilt topstain. In near fine condition. An exceptional example.
The story centers on Maggie, a young girl from the Bowery who is driven to unfortunate circumstances by poverty and solitude. The work was considered risqué by publishers because of its literary realism and strong themes. Crane – who was 22 years old at the time, financed the book's publication himself.
