If "beat generation" authors such as Kerouac, Ginsberg and Ferlinghetti are on your syllabus, then get your students "on the road" to this site. Although the site is definitely "unofficial," it presents some great information with poetic passion! Especially fascinating is the section entitled "Beat Connections in Rock Music." The site also presents interesting links to other "out of the main stream" artists such as William Blake and the Pre-Raphaelites.

This Internet Archive item provides free access to an 1895 edition of Stephen Crane's The Red Badge of Courage: An Episode of the American Civil War. The link opens the book near page 64 in a two-page reader, and users can turn pages, zoom in on the original scans, search the OCR-generated text, or download the book in formats including PDF, EPUB, and plain text. A DAISY option is also available for eligible users with print disabilities. No account is needed to read or download the book, although JavaScript must be enabled for the full browser-based reader. Because this is a scan of a historical edition, the typography and automated transcription may be less accessible than a modern classroom edition, and OCR errors are possible. The novel depicts combat, fear, injury, death, and the psychological effects of war, so teachers should preview assigned passages and provide historical context. The item page includes sharing tools, user reviews, donation prompts, and links to other Internet Archive collections.

In the Classroom

Have students closely read a selected passage and annotate details that reveal Henry Fleming's thoughts, fears, and changing understanding of courage. Ask pairs to sort quotations into categories such as internal conflict, external conflict, imagery, irony, and character development, then defend their choices with textual evidence. Students can use Trading Card Creator, reviewed here, to design a character card that identifies Henry's motivations, conflicts, defining choices, and supporting quotations.
