Maggie: A Girl of the Streets


Lu par LibriVox Volunteers

(3.9 stars; 31 reviews)

Stephen Crane's first novel, Maggie: A Girl of the Streets has been called "the first dark flower of American Naturalism" for its distinctive elements of naturalistic fiction. The chief character, Maggie, descends into prostitution after being led astray by her lover. Rather than focusing on those that make up the very rich or middle class, the novel highlights the deplorable living conditions of the working class during the so-called Gilded Age in New York's Bowery.

"Rather than focusing on those


(4 stars)

that make up the very rich or middle class, the novel highlights the deplorable living conditions of the working class during the so-called Gilded Age in New York's Bowery" As it always has been, it is wealth disparity that creates poverty and all the social and personal ills that go with it

wonderful well written story. magic with Steven Crane’s writing


(5 stars)

Steven Crane weaves magic with this wonderful descriptive story. The dialect of the streets is magnificent and all of the readers were energetic and added so much to the story. Loved the book.
