저자(글) Washington Irving

Washington Irving is regarded as a founding figure of early 19th-century American literature and a pioneer of the modern short story form. Through The Sketch Book, he gained international fame by blending European romanticism with distinctly American settings. His masterpieces, “Rip Van Winkle” and “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” established the nation’s literary identity through a unique interplay of reality and fantasy. As a diplomat, he drew inspiration from European history and culture, transforming them into rich literary material. His works convey deep reflections on nostalgia, the passage of time, and the enduring nature of human experience.
