Irving, Washington (1783–1859)

US essayist and short-story writer. He published a mock-heroic History of New York (1809), supposedly written by the Dutchman ‘Diedrich Knickerbocker’. In 1815 he went to England where he published The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent (1820), which contained such stories as ‘Rip Van Winkle’ and ‘The Legend of Sleepy Hollow’.

His other works include The Alhambra (1832), sketches about Spanish subjects, and Tour of the Prairies (1835), about the American West. His essays and tales remain popular.
