"This book consists of two long essays, the first on American painter Thomas Eakins (1844-19160 and the second on the American writer Stephen Crane (1871-1900).... The two essays go together, then, not only in their concern with intricately analogous issues, but also because, as if accounting for a prior fascination, the first irresistably gave rise to the second." -- from the preface.
