"Maggie: A Girl of the Streets" is a novella by Stephen Crane, published in 1893. The story follows Maggie, a young girl from the Bowery who is driven to unfortunate circumstances by poverty and solitude. The work was considered risqué by publishers because of its literary realism and strong themes. Crane financed the book's publication himself, although the original 1893 edition was printed under the pseudonym Johnston Smith. The story is followed by "George's Mother". The novella explores themes of alcoholism, hypocrisy, determinism, naturalism, gender, sexuality, and class. The characters are stuck in their class without a way out, due to their heritage and their inability to see other perspectives besides their own. Critics debate whether Crane's use of naturalism was intended to create empathy for the characters living in the Bowery or to support the idea that there is a genetic reason why they are impoverished. The novella was published during the time of industrialization, and the characters' fates are all inevitable and their lives cannot be changed.
