Kim, Yeon-man. “The Idiosyncrasy of Maggie and the Double Vision of Stephen Crane’s
Maggie: A Girl of the Streets.” Studies on English Language & Literature. 34.4(2008): 85-99.
In Maggie: A Girl of the Streets (1893, 1896), Stephen Crane (1871-1900) portrays the Bowery
of New York where most of its residents live by naturalistic norms of living. The district is
depicted as a naturalistic world controlled by environmental determinism, and it is also a
chaotic world full of fights, screams, clashes, betrayals, disorder, and social injustice. The
protagonist of the novel Maggie, however, is a romantic idealist thrown into such a harsh
naturalistic environment. Unlike the majority of the inhabitants of the Bowery, she stands out
as a beauty with a romantic worldview and displays idiosyncratic attributes that do not seem to
fit the naturalistic milieu of the tenement district. Due to her peculiar inclinations to
romanticism and idealism, she falls victim to the environment and faces a series of ordeals and,
eventually, a tragic death. Crane, nevertheless, maintains a double standard in presenting
Maggie’s tragic life by denouncing the harsh environment and her inability to adapt to the
environment at once. (Kyungnam University)
