Book excerpt: Washington Irving's 'Bracebridge Hall, or The Humorists, A Medley' intricately weaves narrative threads together in a tapestry that portrays the vibrant social panorama of an English manor hall in the early 19th century. Written with the delicate touch of Irving's keen observation and droll wit, this collection of character sketches and interlinked stories reveals the customs, characters, and comedic quirks of the British gentry and their servants. With its episodic nature and format evocative of the grand literary tradition of Chaucer and the personal anecdotal charm reminiscent of Sterne, 'Bracebridge Hall' advances the genre of the sketch narrative into a rich exploration of culture and personality, presented through the inviting persona of his pseudonym, Geoffrey Crayon. Irving, an American author whose international sojourns greatly influenced his writings, was steeped in the literary, historical, and societal contexts of both his native and foreign residences. His experiences in England are vividly etched into the vignettes of 'Bracebridge Hall', embodying the enthusiasm and the curiosity of his diverse literary excursions. Irving often blurred the lines between fiction and reportage, drawing upon his travel encounters, literary scholarship, and the unique insights from his later diplomatic career which included a tenure as the U.S. ambassador to Spain. 'Bracebridge Hall' is more than an idle heirloom of literary history; it is a delightful journey into the heart of English country life through the lens of an American luminary. Scholars and enthusiasts of classic literature will find Irving's perception and craftsmanship rewarding, while modern readers will appreciate the universal themes of love, society, and human nature. With its rich tableau of characters and satirical edge, this novel promises a vivid slice of cultural exploration and remains a relevant and fascinating read, embodying the timeless essence of storytelling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rough draughts of some of the following tales and essays were actually written during a residence in the Alhambra; others were subsequently added, founded on notes and observations made there. Care was taken to maintain local coloring and verisimilitude; so that the whole might present a faithful and living picture of that microcosm, that singular little world into which I had been fortuitously thrown; and about which the external world had a very imperfect idea. It was my endeavor scrupulously to depict its half Spanish, half Oriental character; its mixture of the heroic, the poetic, and the grotesque; to revive the traces of grace and beauty fast fading from its walls; to record the regal and chivalrous traditions concerning those who once trod its courts; and the whimsical and superstitious legends of the motley race now burrowing among its ruins.

Download or read book Washington Irving Bracebridge Hall Tales of a Traveller The Alhambra LOA 52 written by Washington Irving and published by Library of America. This book was released on 1991-03-01 with total page 1134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second Library of America volume of Washington Irving brings together for the first time three collections of his stories and sketches. Written at the peak of his popularity, these three works reveal Irving’s remarkable diversity, his skill at adapting European legends to his own style, and the talent for entertainment that made him America’s first literary celebrity. Bracebridge Hall (1822) was published, like The Sketch Book, under the pseudonym Geoffrey Crayon, and centers on an English manor, its inhabitants, and the tales they tell. Interspersed with witty, evocative sketches of country life among the English nobility is the well-known tale “The Stout Gentleman” and stories based on English, French, and Spanish folklore, vividly recounted with Irving’s inimitable blend of elegance and colloquial dash. Tales of a Traveller (1824), written after a year-long stay in Germany, is a pivotal work in Irving’s career, marking his last experiment with fiction before he turned to the writing of history, biography, and adaptation of folktales. Irving felt his new stories to be “some of the best things I have ever written. They may not be as highly finished as some of my former writings, but they are touched off with a freer spirit, and are more true to life.” The Alhambra (1832) was inspired by Irving’s stay during the spring and summer of 1829 at the ancient Moorish palace in Granada, which he called “one of the most remarkable, romantic, and delicious spots in the world.” This rich compendium of tales, deftly interwoven with historical accounts and picturesque sketches, was assembled from Spanish and Moorish folklore, history, guidebooks, and anecdotes of Irving’s experiences among the local residents. LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation’s literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America’s best and most significant writing. The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, and ribbon markers, and are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries.
