Washington Irving (1783 \u0096 1859) was an American short-story writer, essayist, biographer, historian, and diplomat of the early 19th century. He wrote the short stories Rip Van Winkle (1819) and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (1820), both of which appear in his collection The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. His historical works include biographies of Oliver Goldsmith, Muhammad, and George Washington, as well as several histories of 15th-century Spain that deal with subjects such as the Alhambra, Christopher Columbus, and the Moors. Irving served as the American ambassador to Spain in the 1840s. The British edition which includes five pieces not present in the American edition, was published in on August 25, 1824. Though volume one of the American edition had been published by Carey & Lea on August 23, volume two was not published until October of that year (Bowden). The complete full text, with the five omitted pieces, was first published in the United States in 1825. Irving had previously published his Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, which compiled stories like \"The Legend of Seepy Hollow\" and \"Rip Van Winkle.\" The Sketch Book was a celebrated event in American literary history. The collection was the first American work of short stories to gain international success and popularity. Second American Edition but the first American to include omitted stories FORN-TUB-0084-PP-2507-HK2586.
