The first great American man of letters, Washington Irving became an international celebrity almost overnight upon publication of The Sketch Book in 1820, which included the short stories "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle." These two tales remain his crowning achievement, but in addition to being a writer of short stories, Irving was also an acclaimed essayist, travel writer, biographer, and historian. This volume showcases Irving's best work across a variety of genres, including whimsical newspaper articles about New York society, the theater, and contemporary fashions; charming travel pieces that evocatively weave together history and legend; humorous stories and satirical essays from The Sketch-Book and its sequel Bracebridge Hall , and excerpts from A History of New York , considered the first great American book of comic literature. The author's success enabled him to earn a living by writing alone, unheard of for an American at that time. <P... Media Type: eBook. Importer Version: 2014-01-08.01 Import Date: 2021-11-04 17:40:22.
