Essay from the year 2009 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, University of Leipzig (Institut für Anglistik), course: Written Academic Discourse, language: English, abstract: Scholars classify Stephen Crane's novel Maggie: A Girl of the Streets as a "blend of realism and naturalism" (Keenan 937). Set in the Bowery district of 19th century Manhattan, it vividly conveys the poor living conditions of the lower classes. Due to rising immigration rates and urbanization during the so-called 'Gilded Age', the social character of New York had undergone dramatic transformations. Thus, the realistic description of the heroine's poor living conditions in Crane's Maggie serves as a vivid illustration of the urban 19th century "residential segregation according to [. . .] social class" (Shi and Tindall 780). Despite its evident realistic elements, Crane's novel cannot merely be categorized as a work of realism. In fact, the dominant techniques of characterization militate in favour of its categorization as a naturalistic novel rather than a realistic one.

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 risque 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."

Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, language: English, abstract: This term paper deals with the book "Maggie a Girl of the Streets" by Stephen Crane. In the middle of the 19th century a new type of literature emerged from the prior romanticist novellas. Authors wanted to present life more realistically than it had been portrayed before, separating from romanticist literature which to them did not seem to portray life in an adequate manner. Therefore, the concepts of "Realism" and "Naturalism" were introduced whose followers tried to portray life as it actually was. The book "Maggie a Girl of the Streets" by Stephen Crane is often considered a naturalist story which appears to fulfil the aspect of portraying life in a realistic way. It deals with the struggles of existence in lower class society, which is a typical feature of naturalist stories. However, Crane often confronts the reader with illusions and dreams of the characters in his book, which seems to contradict the notion of a realist story. Thus, it is questionable if Crane’s Maggie can really be considered a naturalist work. It is therefore interesting to find out what purpose the illusions and dreams in Crane’s book have, as it does not appear to be coincidental that they run throughout the whole story. Furthermore the question arises why "Maggie a Girl of the Streets" can nevertheless be considered a realist piece of work. This term paper argues that Crane uses the devices of illusions and ideals in Maggie as a medium to satirise the romantic melodrama along with its sentimentalism, since it strongly simplifies reality. By means of this thesis first Crane’s exaggerated descriptions of fighting scenes are portrayed, which shall serve as a proof for Crane’s melodramatic allusions, followed by Maggie’s blurred depiction of Pete as the ideal man. Finally it is illustrated how the theatre shows, which contain melodramatic elements, appear to work as a parallelism to Maggie’s story.
