This book was released on 2018-04-27 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Washington Irving was an American short story writer, essayist, biographer, historian, and diplomat of the early 19th century. He is best known for his short stories "Rip Van Winkle" (1819) and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" (1820), that appear in the collection The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. or simply the Sketch Book, as commonly referred. "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is among the earliest examples of American fiction that has not lost its popularity, especially during Halloween. More recently, the story has also inspired the successful TV series titled simply Sleepy Hollow. In 1974, the story was recognized with the issue of a postage stamp by the US Postal Service. "The Spectre Bridegroom" stands out as one of the few longer, folktale-style stories that is not set in America. The story, a Traveler Tale as the author calls it, is introduced by a much shorter story titled the "Inn Kitchen," which is the only story Geoffrey Crayon, the pseudonymous narrator, remembers after spending the evening in the kitchen of the Inn he was staying at, listening at the stories told by travelers and local folks gathered there. This production includes all three stories, and all their illustrations, as published in the book edition by J. B. LIPPINCOTT & CO., Philadelphia, 1875

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Volume One is an inclusive and geographically expansive examination of early American literature, applying a range of cultural and historical approaches and theoretical models to a dramatically expanded canon of texts. Volume Two covers American literature between 1820 and 1914, focusing on the development of print culture and the literary marketplace, the emergence of various literary movements, and the impact of social and historical events on writers and writings of the period. Spanning the 20th and early 21st centuries, Volume Three studies traditional areas of American literature as well as the literature from previously marginalized groups and contemporary writers often overlooked by scholars. This inclusive and comprehensive study of American literature: Examines the influences of race, ethnicity, gender, class, and disability on American literature Discusses the role of technology in book production and circulation, the rise of literacy, and changing reading practices and literary forms Explores a wide range of writings in multiple genres, including novels, short stories, dramas, and a variety of poetic forms, as well as autobiographies, essays, lectures, diaries, journals, letters, sermons, histories, and graphic narratives. Provides a thematic index that groups chapters by contexts and illustrates their links across different traditional chronological boundaries A Companion to American Literature is a valuable resource for students coming to the subject for the first time or preparing for field examinations, instructors in American literature courses, and scholars with more specialized interests in specific authors, genres, movements, or periods.
