Chapter 5: a bit of war photography
After the applause won by Mr. Stephen Crane's Red Badge of Courage, a little reaction is not strange; and this has already taken, in some quarters, a form quite unjust and unfair.
Certainly any one who spent so much as a week or two in camp, thirty years ago, must be struck with the extrao around him, each in heroic attitude and spotless garments.
It is this Tolstoi quality — the real tumult and tatters of the thing itself-which amazes the reader of Crane's novel.
Moreover, Tolstoy had been through it all in person; whereas this author is a youth of twenty-four, it seems, born since the very last shot fired in the part of the breathless life and action.
How much promise it gives, it is hard to say. Goethe says that as soon as a man has done one good thing, the world conspires against him to keep him from doing another.
Mr. Crane has done one good thing, not to say two; but the conspiracy of admiration may yet be too much for him.
