Washington Irving (April 3, 1783 – November 28, 1859) was an American writer of the early 19th century. He is best known for the short stories ''Literature/RipVanWinkle'' and ''Literature/TheLegendOfSleepyHollow'', and is popularly considered the first person to make a living primarily as a writer, when the authors before his time tended to just do it as a side job.
Irving had his first notable success with ''A History of New York'', an 1809 satirical work that he wrote under the PenName of Diedrich Knickerbocker, a fictional Dutch-American historian. That persona was also used for ''The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent.'', which purports to be a collection of tales that Geoffrey Crayon (another pseudonym) compiled from the notes of Diedrich Knickerbocker. ''Rip Van Winkle'' and ''The Legend of Sleepy Hollow'' were both originally published as part of the ''Sketch Book'' collection.
