Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Maggie: A Girl of the Streets" by Stephen Crane is a novella published in 1893. Set in New York's Bowery district, it follows young Maggie Johnson as she struggles to escape grinding poverty and her brutal, alcoholic family. When a seemingly refined bartender named Pete offers hope for a better life, Maggie pursues the relationship—only to face abandonment and condemnation from those around her. This stark work of literary realism explores determinism, hypocrisy, and the inescapable cycle of urban poverty.
