MEN, WOMEN, AND BOATS
By Stephen Crane
Edited With an Introduction by Vincent Starrett
NOTE
A Number of the tales and sketches here brought together appear now for
the first time between covers; others for the first time between covers
in this country. All have been gathered from out-of-print volumes and
old magazine files.
"The Open Boat," one of Stephen Crane's finest stories, is used with the
courteous permission of Doubleday, Page & Co., holders of the copyright.
Its companion masterpiece, "The Blue Hotel," because of copyright
complications, has had to be omitted, greatly to the regret of the
editor.
After the death of Stephen Crane, a haphazard and undiscriminating
gathering of his earlier tales and sketches appeared in London under the
misleading title, "Last Words." From this volume, now rarely met with, a
number of characteristic minor works have been selected, and these will
be new to Crane's American admirers; as follows: "The Reluctant
Voyagers," "The End of the Battle," "The Upturned Face," "An Episode of
War," "A Desertion," "Four Men in a Cave," "The Mesmeric Mountain,"
"London Impressions," "The Snake."
Three of our present collection, printed by arrangement, appeared in the
London (1898) edition of "The Open Boat and Other Stories," published by
William Heinemann, but did not occur in the American volume of that
title.
