Description:
The Red Badge of Courage takes place during the Civil War and focuses on a young soldier’s experiences as he goes from naïve idealism to awareness of the horrors of war. This short novel demonstrates masterful use of point of view and serves as a psychological study of a boy growing into manhood through times of duress. Often considered an example of Naturalism, the novel emphasizes the discrepancies between illusion and reality.
