In addition to providing a complete (and exciting) picture of Crane's life, Berryman gives a focused assessment of Crane's poetry, prose, and journalism, discussing how critics have regarded these writings over the course of a century.

An important work…. We are not likely soon to get anything better on [Crane's] critical and psychological sides. -- Edmund Wilson * The New Yorker *
...a compelling and high-caliber piece of literary criticism. A real addition to modern critical writing. * Kirkus *
