Was that genius ever appreciated by America"? I doubt it, though Americans were forced to accept him, first because of the fame which "The Red Badge of Courage" brought Crane in England, and secondary because his subject was the American Civil War, a subject that could not be disregarded. On re-reading [211] FRIDAY NIGHTS "The Red Badge of Courage" I am more than ever struck by the genius with which Crane, in imagination, pierced to the essentials of -War. Without any experience of war at the t...ime. Crane was essentially true to the psychological core of war — if not to actualities. He nat- urally underestimated the checks placed by phys- ical strain and fatigue on the faculties, as well as war's malignant, cold ironies, its prosaic dreadful- ness, its dreary, deadening tedium. But as Goethe has pointed out, the artist has a license to ignore actualities, if he is obeying inner, sesthetic laws. And Crane's subject was the passions, the passions of destruction, fear, pride, rage, shame and exal- tation in the heat of action.
