"Bright, volatile, short-lived and hard-drinking, Crane was in some ways an archetype of the Roaring Twenties author. Crane is best known for The Bridge (1930), an epic vision of American life with the Brooklyn Bridge as a central image. Crane is often compared to Walt Whitman, both for his modern American sensibilities and for the homoerotic imagery some find in his work. In sheer style Crane also resembled T.S. Eliot, whom he admired. Crane committed suicide by leaping from the S.S. Orizaba in 1932. Slipcase has some soiling on the top and bottom edge. There is also a small (less than 1/2") loss of colored paper in the lower corner of the slipcase. A brilliantly photo illustrated work. It would make a great gift. W37
