Washington Irving (1783–1859)
Autore di La leggenda di Sleepy Hollow
Sull'Autore
Washington Irving, one of the first Americans to achieve international recognition as an author, was born in New York City in 1783. His A History of New York, published in 1809 under the name of Diedrich Knickerbocker, was a satirical history of New York that spanned the years from 1609 to 1664. mostra altro Under another pseudonym, Geoffrey Crayon, he wrote The Sketch-book, which included essays about English folk customs, essays about the American Indian, and the two American stories for which he is most renowned--"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle." Irving served as a member of the U.S. legation in Spain from 1826 to 1829 and as minister to Spain from 1842 to 1846. Following his return to the U.S. in 1846, he began work on a five-volume biography of Washington that was published from 1855-1859. Washington Irving died in 1859 in New York. mostra meno

- Breve biografia
- Washington Irving (April 3, 1783 – November 28, 1859) was an American short-story writer, essayist, biographer, historian, and diplomat of the early 19th century. He is best known for his short stories "Rip Van Winkle" (1819) and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" (1820). His historical works include biographies of Oliver Goldsmith, Muhammad and George Washington, as well as several histories of 15th-century Spain.
Irving served as ambassador to Spain from 1842 to 1846. He made his literary debut in 1802 with a series of observational letters to the Morning Chronicle, written under the pseudonym Jonathan Oldstyle. He moved to England for the family business in 1815. He continued to publish regularly throughout his life.

E' un racconto brevissimo in cui fantasmi e occulto sono solo un pretesto per tracciare il ritratto di una certa sonnolenta (nomen omen) provincia americana di fine settecento: le storie spaventose fanno parte dell'ambiente, pittoresche esattamente quanto il paesaggio bucolico.
Ho apprezzato molto le atmosfere e l'ironia garbata, per i miei gusti però le descrizioni hanno avuto una parte troppo preponderante: già la vicenda è breve, se più di metà dello spazio è dedicato a piante, animali e cibarie il mio interesse non sarà mai catturato fino in fondo.
Riconosco che Irving ha una penna magnifica, ma il racconto non mi ha conquistato e difficilmente mi rimarrà impresso.… (altro)
