Notes

The text for "This Majestic Lie" is Fredson Bowers, ed., Tales of War, Vol. VI of The Works of Stephen Crane, introd. James B. Colvert (Charlottesville: The Univ. Press of Virginia, 1970), pp. 201-221. Future references to the Virginia edition are cited in the text by volume number.

The publication of "An Episode of War" in the 16 March 1916 issue of Youth's Companion has gone unnoticed. A collation of this text with that in the Virginia edition reveals about 100 substantive and accidental variants. Although the version in Youth's Companion appeared after Crane's death and, therefore, would normally have no textual authority, it should be considered in the establishment of copy-text. I am currently writing an article dealing with the variants.
