First published in 1895, this small masterpiece set the pattern for the treatment of war in modern fiction. The novel is told through the eyes of Henry Fleming, a young soldier caught up in an unnamed Civil War battle who is motivated not by the unselfish heroism of conventional war stories, but by fear, cowardice, and finally, egotism. However, in his struggle to find reality amid the nightmarish chaos of war, the young soldier also discovers courage, humility, and perhaps, wisdom. Although Crane had never been in battle before writing The Red Badge of Courage, the book was widely praised by experienced soldiers for its uncanny re-creation of the sights, sounds, and sense of actual combat. Its publication brought Crane immediate international fame and established him as a major American writer. Today, nearly a century later, the book ranks as an enduring landmark of American fiction.

Many of the classics are found in this collection and would provide a great opportunity (or incentive) for your students to read the book and watch the movie! The recommended goal is for students to read 4-6 guides during the school year. Answers are in the back and can be easily removed. Each guide includes Notes to the Instructor, mini author biographies, and background information. These literature selections are more suited for high school students as they contain difficult topics and content.
