ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Stephen Crane (1871-1900) is best known for his 1895 Civil War novel, The Red Badge of Courage. He also spent time as a reporter on slum life and a highly paid war correspondent. Today, he’s considered one of the most innovative writers of the 1890s and one of the founders of literary realism.
Bret Harte (1836-1902) turned his love of books into a writing career. He published the first of his Condensed Novels (parodies of Dickens, Hugo, and others) when writing for the Golden Era in San Francisco . In 1868, he was named editor of the Overland Monthly where he commissioned Mark Twain to write weekly articles. He became world famous after publication of The Luck of Roaring Camp, and Other Sketches. Harte helped create what is known as the local-color school of American fiction.
Jack London (1876-1916) is best known for his novels The Call of the Wild and White Fang, both set during the Klondike Gold Rush. He was one of the first fiction writers to become rich and famous for his fiction writing in commercial magazines. Even with his success, he was always a passionate advocate of unionization, women’s suffrage and the rights of workers. Before he was a full-time writer, he was an oyster pirate, a cannery worker, a gold miner, and a journalist. Talk about a “Jack of All Trades.”
