  • Rip Van Winkle

    Mr Washington Irving

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, March 3, 2017)
    "Rip Van Winkle" is a short story by American author Washington Irving published in 1819. Written while Irving was living in Birmingham, England, it was part of a collection entitled The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. Although the story is set in New York's Catskill Mountains, Irving later admitted, "When I wrote the story, I had never been on the Catskills." The story's title character is a Dutch-American villager living around the time of the American Revolutionary War."Rip Van Winkle" is one of Irving's most anthologized, studied, and adapted sketches. Both stories (along with: The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow) are often paired together in books and other representations, and both are included in surveys of early American literature and Romanticism. Irving's depictions of regional culture and his themes of progress versus tradition, supernatural intervention in the commonplace, and the plight of the individual outsider in an homogeneous community permeate both stories and helped to develop a unique sense of American cultural and existential selfhood during the early nineteenth century.This classic title has been published by RADLEY BOOKS.
