"Maggie: A Girl of the Streets" is a novella by Stephen Crane, published in
1893. The story follows 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
financed the book's publication himself, although the original 1893 edition
was printed under the pseudonym Johnston Smith. The story is followed by
"George's Mother". The novella explores themes of alcoholism, hypocrisy,
determinism, naturalism, gender, sexuality, and class. The characters are
stuck in their class without a way out, due to their heritage and their
inability to see other perspectives besides their own. Critics debate whether
Crane's use of naturalism was intended to create empathy for the characters
living in the Bowery or to support the idea that there is a genetic reason why
they are impoverished. The novella was published during the time of
industrialization, and the characters' fates are all inevitable and their
lives cannot be changed.
