Here in one volume are the writings that established his reputation and earned him the admiration of Hawthorne, Poe, Coleridge, Byron, Scott, and Dickens. Written in the character of an elderly gentleman of the old school, "Letters of Jonathan Oldstyle, Gent." is a series of comic reports on the theater, theater-goers, fashions, balls, courtships, duels, and marriages of his contemporary New York. "Salmagundi" continues this roguish style of satire and burlesque, and its freshness, energy, and accomplishment took the Anglo-American literary scene by storm. "A History of New York," a wild and hilarious spoof combining real New York history with political satire, is presented here in its original, unexpurgated version. "The Sketch Book" is a brilliant, captivating story collection that draws on vanishing folkways, depictions of Hudson Valley life, and fable; it contains Irving's best-loved stories, "Rip Van Winkle" and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." 648 7 1800-1899|2fast 650 2 Literature. 650 7 Manners and customs.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01007815 651 0 England|xSocial life and customs|y19th century. 651 0 Hudson River Valley (N.Y. and N.J.)|vFiction. 651 0 Catskill Mountains (N.Y.)|vFiction. 651 7 England.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01219920 651 7 New York (State)|zCatskill Mountains.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01244396 651 7 United States|zHudson River Valley.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01311280 653 Prose in English|aAmerican writers, 1776-1830 - Texts 655 7 Fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423787 740 0 Letters of Jonathan Oldstyle, Gent. 740 0 Salmagundi. 740 0 History of New York. 740 0 Sketch book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. 776 08 |iOnline version:|aIrving, Washington, 1783-1859. |sSelections. 1983.|tHistory, tales, and sketches.|dNew York, N.Y. : Literary Classics of the United States : Distributed to the trade in the United States and Canada by the Viking Press, ©1983|w(OCoLC)558024028 830 0 Library of America ;|v16. 856 42 |3Contributor biographical information|uhttp:// catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1206/83005474-b.html 914 MID.b16402285 994 C0|bCKE 999 Subjects Batch Update Project
