The World Of Washington Irving by Van Wyck Brooks
A lively portrait of an early American literary figure and the cultural world that shaped him, tracing his career from provincial beginnings through European travel to international fame; it examines his major tales and sketches, his genial humor, picturesque imagination and genteel sensibilities, and how his blending of folklore, nostalgia and cosmopolitan taste helped define both his public persona and a distinctively American literary voice amid the social and intellectual currents of his time.
