Stephen Crane Queries

A note about Stephen Crane Queries:

The Stephen Crane Queries feature at this site (Queries in the menu bar) consists of questions and answers about Crane sent to cranequeries@gmail.com.

From 2000-2010, many of these questions received answers, often from noted Crane scholars such as Stanley Wertheim, Paul Sorrentino, or Donald Vanouse. These were initially divided into “Queries” and “Student Queries,” but as the number of questions declined with the increased availability of online resources such as Google and Wikipedia, the categories were combined.

From about 2011-2016, Queries were posted by year but received fewer responses.

Currently, each query received is posted individually and is listed under the category Queries.

All of these are searchable from the Search box on the site, and responses to the queries can be posted from the Leave a Reply feature at the bottom of each page. (To avoid spam, each reply is reviewed before being posted to the site.)

Although they are in their original form and the links or information may not be current, these entries make for interesting reading.

    I sent a query to the society some time ago but saw no answer. Involved the unpublished English version of War is Kind. From what I have seen in various places there were a small number of samples of what a Heinemann edition would look like made up by Bradley. Anywhere from 30 to 20 to 12 copies were made up with the Heinemann Imprint on the tp in a related typeface. So my query is why was the English edition not published? What happened? Anybody have any theories, ideas, done any research I’m\n the Publishers records? BTW I ‘ve one of the mockups with a paper DJ with the note: “12 copies”. It came from Bradley material given to Stanford by his son. Thx for any help.

    • Dear Mr. Lehner–I’m sorry that your query didn’t receive a reply but will repost it today. The site can’t control who might see this question and respond, but it will be more visible now.
