New Riverside editions

Presents Stephen Crane's Civil War novel "The Red Badge of Courage," his story "Maggie: A Girl of the Streets," and other stories by the nineteenth-century American author; and includes more than twenty contemporary documents that provide context on the works' settings and themes.

Appreciated by children as an adventure story and by adults as a devastating satire of society, "Gulliver's Travels" is a fascinating blend of travelogue, realism, symbolism, and fantastic voyage--all with a serious philosophical intent.

Includes texts from 1750 to 1859 by Gilbert White, John Aikin, Anna (Aikin) Barbauld, Joseph Priestley, Oliver Goldsmith, Erasmus Darwin, Thomas Bewick, William Blake, William Wordsworth, William Bartram, Sir Humphry Davy, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Charlotte Smith, Giovanni Aldini, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, Percy Bysshe Shelley, John Keats, William Kirby, William Lawrence, John Clare, John Leonard Knapp, Alfred, Lord Tennyson, and Charles Darwin.
