Maggie: A WOMAN of the Streets is a ground-breaking novel associated with the precarious express of ladies in the new industrial world at the end of the 19th century. One blemish on a reputation, and a female would often be restricted from her house, subject to generating her living on the avenues, and often dying young, as Maggie does indeed. The irony is the fact Maggie has two abusive parents, the father who dies early in the novel, and the mom who hurls her away, with much fussing and lamenting about "all she has done" for Maggie. Crane's irony develops right from the start through Maggie's sibling, who is upset his friend debauched Maggie and got her pregnant. The making point is within Jimmy, who starts to understand that he has done the same to other brothers' sisters. It's the early realization of the behavior which makes the most interesting mental impact on the novel. As always, Maggie contains the beautiful phrase paintings of Crane. As Maggie descends towards her doom each successive pub/entertainment place Maggie is taken to becomes increasingly bawdy and unappealing. Maggie preserves what order there exists in the house, nurses her mom, but that will not protect her position in the end, when she gets hurled out. That is one of the most moving stories in American books. If this novel doesn't break your center a little, no novel will. In our head, Maggie is the equivalent of Crane's more famous work, The Red Badge of Courage, which depicts war with a candor like the depiction of the tenements and folks of the Bowery in NY. A must read for any students of American books and a wonderful one for ordinary people.
