Over de Auteur

Washington Irving, one of the first Americans to achieve international recognition as an author, was born in New York City in 1783. His A History of New York, published in 1809 under the name of Diedrich Knickerbocker, was a satirical history of New York that spanned the years from 1609 to 1664. toon meer Under another pseudonym, Geoffrey Crayon, he wrote The Sketch-book, which included essays about English folk customs, essays about the American Indian, and the two American stories for which he is most renowned--"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle." Irving served as a member of the U.S. legation in Spain from 1826 to 1829 and as minister to Spain from 1842 to 1846. Following his return to the U.S. in 1846, he began work on a five-volume biography of Washington that was published from 1855-1859. Washington Irving died in 1859 in New York. toon minder

Korte biografie
Washington Irving (April 3, 1783 – November 28, 1859) was an American short-story writer, essayist, biographer, historian, and diplomat of the early 19th century. He is best known for his short stories "Rip Van Winkle" (1819) and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" (1820). His historical works include biographies of Oliver Goldsmith, Muhammad and George Washington, as well as several histories of 15th-century Spain.

Irving served as ambassador to Spain from 1842 to 1846. He made his literary debut in 1802 with a series of observational letters to the Morning Chronicle, written under the pseudonym Jonathan Oldstyle. He moved to England for the family business in 1815. He continued to publish regularly throughout his life.

Besprekingen

Washington Irving was asked by Captain Bonneville to write up a book from the journals Bonneville kept while exploring in the American West in the early 1830s. Bonneville took a team to participate in the hunting and trapping of beaver in the days when the Beaver hat was the rage. On the three year experience he discovered and journaled much of what would become the Oregon Trail in the 1850s. He also encountered many native tribal peoples and the fur trading companies and their agents.

This is probably one of the more generous and level-headed views I have seen from early reports of the native tribes of the west and their ways. Irving, who says he is only writing what Bonneville wrote, is careful to point out the failings of the white men which caused misunderstandings and attacks. He doesn't paint the picture rosy about the natives, but seems quite realistic about their motivations and habits, as well as their positive aspects and the way they lived with the land.… (meer)

An excellent story, with tons of fun twists and apt descriptions. The story is truly captivating, allowing the reader to visit the picturesque yet eerie landscape of Sleepy Hallow. With the brilliant overuse of adjectives and Irving's seamlessly interwoven wit, "The Legend of Sleepy Hallow" has become a pinnacle of American fiction.
