		Crane is perhaps the greatest of the naturalists, however, precisely because his works transcend their genre.

	[minstrels] In the desert -- Stephen Crane
		Crane is a master of the paradigm shift, the few words that suddenly twist the reader's world view around, exposing paradox and uncertainty where before was only smooth complacency.
		Stephen Crane first broke new ground in Maggie, which evinced an uncompromising (then considered sordid) realism that initiated the literary trend of the succeeding generations--i.e., the sociological novels of Frank Norris, Theodore Dreiser, and James T. Farrell.
		The secret of Crane's success as war correspondent, journalist, novelist, short-story writer, and poet lay in his achieving tensions between irony and pity, illusion and reality, or the double mood of hope contradicted by despair.
