Romantic love and Maggie
What does Crane say about romantic love for people like Maggie? Is this story saying that Love for a person without money has very little opportunity to find true love in an environment with poor people with no education and violent surroundings?
|
For a source that gives some good insight into Maggie's romantic entanglement, see Joseph X. Brennan, "Ironic and Symbolic Structure in Crane's Maggie," Nineteenth-Century Fiction 16, no. 1 (1962), beginning on the first full paragraph on page 313.

"The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky"
In four weeks, I have a research paper due on any short story I chose to write on. I've chosen "The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky," and I've been doing research on it for hours. I found good stuff, but not exactly what i'm looking for. Do know where I can find secondary texts for him? If I remember correctly, my professor told me that secondary texts are documents written by another author, and it critisizes the characters and themes of the story.
I would greatly appreciate it if you can tell me where or how I can find such sources for my paper.
Thank You

If you search for "bride" in the bibliographies at this site, you should find a fair number of secondary materials. Also, check the books on Crane's short fiction; all will discuss that story, which is a major one.
Here is a list for you:

You might try a biography of Crane or The Crane Log. A good selection of Crane's western stories appears in the Library of American edition of Stephen Crane's works. |
| Questions on Stephen Crane
Hi, I am doing a report on Stephen Crane and have been doing most of my research online, but there have been a few bits of information I simply have not seemed able to find anywhere.
First off, in the Cuban expedition Crane accompanioed in which the Commodore was wrecked, Iv read that Crane eventually made it to shore, but I have not been able to find anywhere where exactly he landed.
Also, Im curious as to his family, is there anywhere I can find more in depth info on his family tree, perhaps names and careers/lifestyles of his siblings and those he descended from; perhaps any famous ancestors, if any?
Also, Im curious about his reasoning for publishing Maggie under a pseudonym; did he simply anticipate the book's unpopularity, or was it a lack of self-confidence...ect? Oh, on that book also, which brother was it that he borrowed money from to publish and print it?
And last, Cora Taylor. Now I've read that she was a person who was somewhat of a destructive influence to Crane, and was able to convince him to constatnly indulge in social extremeties, parties, and such, and that brought them financial ruin. Is there any sources that elaborate on that aspect of Crane's life, or maybe even Stephen's emotional/preferential views on the persuasions ensued by Cora?
Any info or pointed out sources would be most helpful and appreciated.

Some of the information (on Crane's siblings and family tree) are answered on the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page at this site. Others can be answered by looking in the following:
Wertheim and Sorrentino, The Crane Log.
Gilkes, Lillian. Cora Crane.

Stephen Crane's Intentions
what was stephen crane´s intention to write such a short story like the bride comes to yellow sky. laura esders 3/6/06 |
You can never fully know an author's reasons for writing a story, but if you look at some of the commentary on the story here and in the published criticism, you can probably come to some conclusions about this issue. |
| "The Open Boat" and "Stephen Crane's Own Story"
Where can I find the complete original article that Stephen Crane filed for the New York Press in January of 1896 regarding the sinking of the Commodore? This is the article on which "The Open Boat" is based. M. Solano |
You can find a link to this on the Student Queries 2000-2002 page. Here's a

This sounds like a writing assignment that the teacher gave to you, so the questions on responding to Crane's other works on the Student Queries 2002 page might help you in thinking through your response to the question. |

These sound like questions assigned by a teacher. Here are some more questions to help you answer them:
1. Do you see any signs of tension early in "The Blue Hotel"? What are Johnnie and the old farmer doing at the beginning of the story when the others enter the hotel?
2. Are there any signs that the Swede is does not feel comfortable with the others in the room?
3. See this page for some definitions of protagonist and antagonist: http://www.wsu.edu/~campbelld/guweb2/enl102/ficterm.htm. Which characters best fit these descriptions? |
