Autorenporträt
Washington Irving, born on April 3, 1783, in New York City, was a pioneering American writer known for his engaging storytelling and humorous style. His early works, including A History of New-York and the short stories Rip Van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, established him as one of the first American authors to gain international acclaim.Irving spent much of his life in Europe, where he honed his craft and befriended literary giants like Sir Walter Scott. He later served as the U.S. Minister to Spain, where he drew inspiration for his historical works. His contributions to literature helped shape the American identity, paving the way for future writers and earning him a lasting legacy as a foundational figure in American letters.Throughout his career, Irving championed the importance of storytelling and advocated for writers' rights, helping to establish writing as a legitimate profession in America. His enchanting tales, infused with elements of folklore and humor, continue to resonate with readers today, reflecting the rich cultural tapestry of early 19th-century America.
