  • Brander Matthews' Re-visioning of Crane's Maggie

    Lawrence J OliverARTICLEAmerican Literature1988

    DEVIEWING Stephen Crane's Maggie, Hamlin Garland praised the novella as the most truthful and unhackneyed tale of the slums he had ever read, but he qualified his praise of Crane's compelling study in naturalism by contending that it only a fragment.
