Informazioni sull'autore

Washington Irving (1783–1859) was the United States’ first internationally celebrated literary figure and has been credited for initiating the short story format in America, largely thanks to such tales as “Rip Van Winkle” and “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” both of which first appeared in his immensely successful book The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. (1819–1820). His literary out put was prodigious and included satires, travelogues, histories and biographies, and he also had a second career in diplomacy, serving overseas in various capacities including as minister to Spain.
