Born in New York, April 3, 1783; died at Sunnyside on the Hudson, November 28, 1859. Washington Irving has been called "the Dutch Herodotus," "the Father of American Letters," "the Addison of American Literature," "the First Ambassador sent by the New World of Letters to the Old," "the Goldsmith of the nineteenth century." He wrote under a half-dozen pen-names, as follows: Simeon Senex, Jonathan Oldstyle, Launcelot Langstaff, Diedrich Knickerbocker, Fray Antonio Agapida, and Geoffrey Crayon. His mother was of English descent, his father of Scotch; he himself spent many years abroad, but he was a thorough American. He tried law, and made an effort to be interested in mercantile pursuits, but his mind was bent on literature, and in this field he achieved his greatest honors and found in it his life-work. He first went abroad in 1804, returning in 1806. In 1815 he went again to Europe, remaining seventeen years away from America. In 1829 he was Secretary of Legation at the Court of St. James. He returned to America in 1832. As Minister to Spain he spent the years 1842 - 1846 in that country. From 1846 to 1859 he lived a retired life at Sunnyside, his beautiful country place near Tarrytown, New York.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Schools of Fiction, Morgan Day Frank considers a bizarre but integral feature of the modern educational experience: that teachers enthusiastically teach literary works that have terrible things to say about school. From Ishmael's insistence in Herman Melville's Moby-Dick that a whale-ship was my Yale College and my Harvard, to the unnamed narrator's expulsion from his southern college in Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man, the most frequently taught books in the English curriculum tend to be those that cast the school as a stultifying and inhumane social institution. Why have educators preferred the anti-scholasticism of the American romance tradition to the didacticism of sentimentalists? Why have they organized African American literature as a discursive category around texts that despaired of the post-Reconstruction institutional system? Why did they start teaching novels, that literary form whose very nature, in Mikhail Bakhtin's words, is not canonic? Reading literature in class is a paradoxical undertaking that, according to Day Frank, has proved foundational to the development of American formal education over the last two centuries, allowing the school to claim access to a social world external to itself. By drawing attention to the transformative effect literature has had on the school, Schools of Fiction challenges some of our core assumptions about the nature of cultural administration and the place of English in the curriculum. The educational system, Day Frank argues, has depended historically on the cultural objects whose existence it is ordinarily thought to govern and the academic subject it is ordinarily thought to have marginalized.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did Ichabod Crane and other characters from children’s literature shape the ideal of American citizenship? 2015 Honor Book Award, Children's Literature Association From the colonial period to the end of the Civil War, children’s books taught young Americans how to be good citizens and gave them the freedom, autonomy, and possibility to imagine themselves as such, despite the actual limitations of the law concerning child citizenship. Imaginary Citizens argues that the origin and evolution of the concept of citizenship in the United States centrally involved struggles over the meaning and boundaries of childhood. Children were thought of as more than witnesses to American history and governance—they were representatives of “the people” in general. Early on, the parent-child relationship was used as an analogy for the relationship between England and America, and later, the president was equated to a father and the people to his children. There was a backlash, however. In order to contest the patriarchal idea that all individuals owed childlike submission to their rulers, Americans looked to new theories of human development that limited political responsibility to those with a mature ability to reason. Yet Americans also based their concept of citizenship on the idea that all people are free and accountable at every age. Courtney Weikle-Mills discusses such characters as Goody Two-Shoes, Ichabod Crane, and Tom Sawyer in terms of how they reflect these conflicting ideals.
