Tentang Penulis

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 works ‘The Legend of Sleepy Hollow’ and ‘Rip Van Winkle’, both of which appear in his collection ‘The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent.’ His historical narratives and biographical works include ‘Life of George Washington’ and his extensive contribution recognized him as the first genuine historian of the New World. Among his lesser-known but equally significant writings is ‘The Adventures of Captain Bonneville, U.S.A., in the Rocky Mountains and the Far West’. This book elucidates the adventures of Benjamin Louis Eulalie de Bonneville, providing a descriptive account of 19th-century American pioneering life, with a rich depiction of landscapes, Native American tribes, and the burgeoning fur trade. Irving’s literary style is characterized by a keen eye for detail, a penchant for satire, and a flair for narrativizing history. His work resonates with themes of identity, national pride, and the romantic idealization of the American landscape and frontier. Washington Irving has been hailed as the ‘father of American literature, ‘ and his contributions laid the groundwork for a distinctly American literary tradition.
