HTML version by Al Haines. "The Red Badge of Courage: An Episode of the American Civil War" by Stephen Crane is a novel written during the late 19th century. The book follows a young soldier named Henry Fleming as he grapples with his fears and notions of bravery in the face of war during the American Civil War. The story unfolds with Henry's internal conflict about courage and honor while broadly exploring the psychological complexities of combat. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to an army brimming with rumors about impending battle, and through the eyes of the young private Henry, we witness his evolving thoughts on courage, glory, and the harsh realities of war. As the soldiers prepare to move and engage in combat, Henry reflects on his motivations for enlisting and the contrasting realities of his romanticized visions of warfare. As he hears tales of bravery and recognizes his own self-doubt, Henry struggles with the fear of running from battle, leading to an intense exploration of his character's psyche. This opening sets the tone for a profound narrative that examines the nature of fear, identity, and the essence of manhood in the context of war. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
