Washington Irving
Washington Irving made significant contributions to American literature and was the first American writer to be able to live exclusively from the proceeds of his writing. ... The book is often referred to as "Knickerbockers History" since Irving used this pseudonym. ... He encouraged Irving to write about America and introduced him to German folklore which Irving used in an American setting. ... It bought immediate fame to Irving. ... Irving jumps from reality into "myth" and humorously tries to give credibility to the characters and events.
