The story centers on Maggie, a young girl from the Bowery who is driven to unfortunate circumstances by poverty and solitude. The story opens with Jimmie, Maggie's brother, as he fights a gang of boys from an opposing neighborhood. He is saved by his friend, Pete, and comes home to a brutal and drunken father. As years pass and their father dies, Jimmie hardens into a sneering, aggressive, cynical youth and Maggie begins to work in a shirt factory, but her attempts to improve her life are undermined by her mother's drunken rages. Maggie begins to date Jimmie's friend Pete, who has a job as a bartender and seems a very fine fellow, convinced that he will help her escape the life she leads. He takes her to the theater and the museum, but Jimmie and her mother accuse her of "Goin to deh devil" and throw her out. As the neighbors badmouth Maggie, Pete decides to leave her and she gets scorned by the entire tenement and left on the street.

Maggie: A Girl of the Streets is an 1893 novella by American author Stephen Crane (1871-1900). 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, although the original 1893 edition was printed under the pseudonym Johnston Smith. After the success of 1895's The Red Badge of Courage, Maggie was reissued in 1896 with considerable changes and re-writing. The story is followed by George's Mother.

Published in 1893, Maggie: A Girl of the Streets shocked a world unprepared for its grim and starkly realistic exploration of a pretty young girl’s fall on New York’s Bowery, and its critical depiction of the irresponsibility of men toward women. The five other stories in this collection are tales of quiet tension and raw intensity. From the local color of small-town life to the bustle of the city to war stories imbued with an ironic view of heroism, these stories are brilliantly constructed, extraordinarily lyrical, and psychologically penetrating. As a whole, this masterful collection demonstrates the unique and stunning genius of Stephen Crane and makes up an enduring testimony to one of America’s finest writers. Edited and with an Introduction by Alfred Kazin and an Afterword by Tom Wolfe

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 risqu� 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, although the original 1893 edition was printed under the pseudonym Johnston Smith. After the success of 1895's The Red Badge of Courage, Maggie was reissued in 1896 with considerable changes and re-writing. The story is followed by George's Mother. The story opens with Jimmie, at this point a young boy, trying by himself to fight a gang of boys from an opposing neighborhood. He is saved by his friend, Pete, and comes home to his sister Maggie, his toddling brother Tommie, his brutal and drunken father and mother, Mary Johnson. The parents terrify the children until they are shuddering in the corner.Years pass, the father and Tommie die, and Jimmie hardens into a sneering, aggressive, cynical youth. He gets a job as a teamster, having no regard for anyone but firetrucks who would run him down. Maggie begins to work in a shirt factory, but her attempts to improve her life are undermined by her mother's drunken rages. Maggie begins to date Jimmie's friend Pete, who has a job as a bartender and seems a very fine fellow, convinced that he will help her escape the life she leads. He takes her to the theater and the museum. One night Jimmie and Mary accuse Maggie of "Goin to deh devil", essentially kicking her out of the tenement, throwing her lot in with Pete. Jimmie goes to Pete's bar and picks a fight with him (even though he himself has ruined other boys' sisters). As the neighbors continue to talk about Maggie, Jimmie and Mary decide to join them in badmouthing her instead of defending her.

Maggie: A Girl of the Streets by Stephen Crane The book opens with a scene of violence, and from there it goes downhill. A little scrapper of a boy named Jimmie is fighting the thugs of Devil's Row with the help of other street urchins from the neighborhood who represent Rum Alley. And we're not talking about hair pulling; we are talking about throwing stones, destroying clothes and bloody faces. Then comes an older boy named Pete, but instead of saving Jimmie, he teases him. But he has your back. The house is even darker than Jimmie's Rum Alley piles of gravel because Mom is a raging alcoholic, Dad is a brute, and brothers Maggie and Tommie seem to have targets on their foreheads. It is complete chaos in the house. A few years later, Tommie died and so did Dad. Jimmie has become a bully and a monster himself, hating everything in his path and itching for the next fight. He's a teamster with street rage long before the term was invented, and he'll make mincemeat with anyone who comes across his path. Here comes that kind of Pete again, the one who "helped" Jimmie, and now he's a stout, well-dressed dandy type. At least in Maggie's eyes, anyway. They start dating, which Maggie sees as a great opportunity to get away from the terrible life of her on the block. Pete loves some entertainment for him, so he and Maggie attend all kinds of "wacky" (again, for her) theatrical events where the audience is filled with other hardworking immigrants. It's better to be beaten up by mom at home, that's for sure. However, Mom and Jimmie aren't impressed with the whole bond between Pete and Maggie. It doesn't matter if you're poor, you still have moral standards and that Maggie, well, she's putting the family in a bad light by spending all sorts of time with that Pete. So they threw her out of the apartment. She now she has no choice but to be with Pete. Nice call. Jimmie tries to defend the family honor by beating up Pete while Pete is at work, so he's not handsome. The good times between Pete and Maggie come to an abrupt end. As long as the day is, Pete leaves Maggie for Nellie, an old flame who clearly has more sophistication than Maggie (who she is not naive and wide-eyed like Maggie is). Now Maggie doesn't know where to go. Mom is busy slandering her with her neighbors (sweet mom, huh?), So that's the ways to Maggie (hence the book's subtitle). Crane does a little trick with smoke and mirrors showing us a prostitute wandering the streets but without directly telling us that she is Maggie. We know better, though. Unfortunately, the scene does not end well, as a boy with "bloodshot eyes and dirty hands" follows "the girl" (17.17) to the river. Do the math. We find Pete drunk as a skunk with a bunch of "ladies", including Nellie. They all take advantage of his generosity and then leave him unconscious on the floor. Jimmie returns home to his mom, categorically reporting that Maggie is dead. Mom has a spectacular fit, while her neighbors make feeble attempts to console her. The book ends with Mom promising to forgive Maggie. Um ... too little, too late, mom.
