Autorenporträt
De los primeros prosistas de las Letras norteamericanas. Estudioso sin ser erudito, más que a la calidad de su obra, debe su fama al carácter de ésta. Gran parte de esa fama no le vino por lo que hizo, sino por ser el primero en hacerlo. Los primeros cuentos cortos, algo tan característico de la literatura norteamericana, los escribió él. También fue el primero que hizo del humor, de la sátira burlesca, un arma literaria. Irving se recreaba en el detalle, disfrutaba con las descripciones y siempre de una manera sencilla, sin el menor rebuscamiento. Manuel de los Reyes was one of the first prose writers of American literature, Washington Irving was a scholar without being overly academic. His fame is owed less to the quality of his work than to its pioneering nature. Much of his renown came not from what he did, but from being the first to do it. He wrote the first short stories--now a hallmark of American literature--and was also the first to turn humor and burlesque satire into literary tools. Irving delighted in detail, enjoyed descriptive writing, and always did so in a simple, unpretentious manner.
