WASHINGTON IRVING (1783-1859) A History of New York, from the Beginning of the World to the End of the Dutch Dynasty Under the guise of Diedrich Knickerbocker, "a small elderly gentleman" who had mysteriously disappeared from his lodgings, leaving behind him a manuscript of "the only authentic history of the times that have been or ever will be published," Washington Irving published his most unified and jubilant work in December 1809. Begun as a parody of a guidebook to New York, Irving ended by writing a comic history of New York under Dutch authority (with such governors as "Walter the Doubter," William the Testy," and "Peter the Headstrong"). Fact is interspersed with exaggeration, burlesque and biting sarcasm. The History 's combination of mock solemnity and extravagant irreverence was to lay a foundation of style for subsequent American humorists, from Mark Twain to Will Rogers. According to Irving's manuscript notebook, 2,000 copies of

Antebellum America, 1784-1865 Washington Irving, 1783-1859 "I was always fond of vising new scenes, and observing strange characters and manners." The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon by Mark Canada , professor, University of North Carolina at Pembroke Before the Revolutionary War, American literaturefrom Christopher Columbus's travel accounts to Benjamin Franklin's autobiographyhad been primarily nonfictional narratives, sermons, essays, diaries, and imitations of English verse, most of it written in private or shared in small circles. With the political revolution against England, however, came a cultural revolution , and Americans slowly began to build an independent cultural identity, which included a strong literary component. For the first time, America had a significant number of men and women of lettersthat is, writers who created works appreciated for their aesthetic value and who made a career or at least a serious avocation of literature. The first of these writers was Washington Irving, whose Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon , first published in 1819, was a sensation in England and helped build the United States' reputation for creative literature.

He stayed with his sister Sarah, her husband, Henry van Wart, and their two sons and two daughters, one of whom was his god-child. They later told of how he would invent stories to entertain them and their friends. van Wart, an American who became British by special act of parliament, was a businessman and politician, founder of the Birmingham Exchange, one of Birmingham's first Aldermen and a director of the Birmingham Banking Company. Irving lived with the van Warts first in Icknield Street West (formerly Ladywood Lane), then Camden Hill (now called Newhall Hill). Although neither house still stands, the former was half way between the Monument Lane Canal and Spring Hill Library, the latter on the corner of Legge Lane and Frederick Street. Irving christened each of these buildings "Castle van Tromp". Irving later stayed with the van Warts at their subsequent homes, at 13 Calthorpe Street, Edgbaston, and "The Shrubbery" on Hagley Road. He is also known to have worshipped at St Paul's Church in St Paul's Square.

Select an estate: Kykuit, the Rockefeller Estate Lyndhurst Montgomery Place Philipsburg Manor Sunnyside Union Church of Pocantico Hills Van Cortlandt Manor Washington Irving: Squire of Sunnyside By Joseph T. Butler Washington Irving (1783-1859) was one of America's early ambassadors of style and taste. He brought understanding of America to Europe and introduced many Americans to aspects of European culture. He stands today as an important representative of the new nation's artistic creativity at the turn of the nineteenth century. Born in New York City during the last weeks of the American Revolution, this youngest of eight surviving children of Scottish immigrants was named in honor the war's greatest hero, General George Washington. In later years Irving was fond of telling that, as a child, he was introduced to Washington in a New York City shop and received a presidential pat on his then-curly head. Over the course of his long life, Irving had many more occasions to meet famous people. Such literary giants as Sir Walter Scott, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Charles Dickens heaped praise on the first genuinely American author. Such artists as David Wilkie, Gilbert Stuart Newton, and Felix O. C. Darley vied for the chance to capture his visage or his fanciful characters in pencil or on canvas. (Irving's lifelong relationships with artists are amply covered in David Sokols essay, "Washington Irving: Friend and Muse to American Artists" in Visions of Washington Irving: Selected Works from the Collections of Historic Hudson Valley (1991).

Home Authors Titles Keyword Search ... Reference Washington Irving American author Washington Irving was a short story writer, essayist, poet, travel book writer, biographer, and columnist. Irving was born in New York City (near present-day Wall Street) at the end of the Revolutionary War on April 3, 1783. His parents, Scottish-English immigrants, were great admirers of General George Washington, and named their son after their hero. Irving studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1806, but his career soon gave way to his love of writing. His other interests included architecture and landscape design, traveling, and diplomacy. He is best known, however, as the first American to make a living solely from writing. Initially, he wrote under pen names; one of these was "Diedrich Knickerbocker," who was supposedly an eccentric Dutch scholar. In 1809, using this pen name, Irving wrote A History of New-York that describes and satirizes the lives of the early Dutch settlers of Manhattan. Eventually, the term "Knickerbocker" came to refer to anyone from New York who was of Dutch ancestry. Irving's writing continued with The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent.

Wiedman, New York; Kennikat Press, 1976. Pertinent Texts and Images in the 19th Century American Indians in nineteenth century literature were seldom culturally relative. The authors failed to understand American Indians within the context of their separate cultures; instead, Indians became homogenized as the alien "Other," treated in terms of one of two polarizations: as the essentialized ideal, or the degenerated demon. n his fiction such as The Sketch Book, Washington Irving (1783-1859) allegedly developed a romantic portraiture of the Native American. Traits of Indian Character from The Sketch Book by Washington Irving. Irving identifies American Indians with nature and lavishes praise upon their "natural" state: "There is something in the character and traits of the north American savage taken in connection with the scenery over which he is accustomed to range, its vast lakes, boundless forest, majestic rivers, and trackless plains that is, to my mind, wonderfully striking and sublime..." (qtd. in Zolla 97). Rip Van Winkle: Past and Present The story of Rip Van Winkle covers three different time periods: America before British Rule, the early American Colonies under British Rule, and America after the Revolutionary War.
