He stayed with his sister Sarah, her husband, Henry van Wart, and their two sons and two daughters, one of whom was his god-child. They later told of how he would invent stories to entertain them and their friends. van Wart, an American who became British by special act of parliament, was a businessman and politician, founder of the Birmingham Exchange, one of Birmingham's first Aldermen and a director of the Birmingham Banking Company. Irving lived with the van Warts first in Icknield Street West (formerly Ladywood Lane), then Camden Hill (now called Newhall Hill). Although neither house still stands, the former was half way between the Monument Lane Canal and Spring Hill Library, the latter on the corner of Legge Lane and Frederick Street. Irving christened each of these buildings "Castle van Tromp". Irving later stayed with the van Warts at their subsequent homes, at 13 Calthorpe Street, Edgbaston, and "The Shrubbery" on Hagley Road. He is also known to have worshipped at St Paul's Church in St Paul's Square.

Wiedman, New York; Kennikat Press, 1976. Pertinent Texts and Images in the 19th Century American Indians in nineteenth century literature were seldom culturally relative. The authors failed to understand American Indians within the context of their separate cultures; instead, Indians became homogenized as the alien "Other," treated in terms of one of two polarizations: as the essentialized ideal, or the degenerated demon. n his fiction such as The Sketch Book, Washington Irving (1783-1859) allegedly developed a romantic portraiture of the Native American. Traits of Indian Character from The Sketch Book by Washington Irving. Irving identifies American Indians with nature and lavishes praise upon their "natural" state: "There is something in the character and traits of the north American savage taken in connection with the scenery over which he is accustomed to range, its vast lakes, boundless forest, majestic rivers, and trackless plains that is, to my mind, wonderfully striking and sublime..."

With the political revolution against England, however, came a cultural revolution , and Americans slowly began to build an independent cultural identity, which included a strong literary component. For the first time, America had a significant number of men and women of lettersthat is, writers who created works appreciated for their aesthetic value and who made a career or at least a serious avocation of literature. The first of these writers was Washington Irving, whose Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon , first published in 1819, was a sensation in England and helped build the United States' reputation for creative literature.

Chautauqua 1998 Early America: A Search for Freedom Washington Irving (1783-1859) John D. Anderson Washington Irving was among the first generation born in the newly created United States of America. The year of his birth1783was also the year England officially recognized our new nation, ending the American Revolution. Irving was heir to the legacy of freedom won by the heroes of the war for American independence, a legacy that marked Irving's contemporaries as the first "lost" generation. With George Washington as their larger-than-life Founding Father, Irving's generation was unsure how to live up to his standard of achievement. Irving eventually earned the title of the "Father of American Literature," but his journey to that goal was fraught with anxiety. His was a search for freedom from not political oppression, but from the uncertainty of what to do with the freedom won by the founding fathers; his was a search for identity. This search consisted of three distinct phases. In the first phase, lasting until he was 33 years old, Irving's wealthy and indulgent family allowed him to drift casually through life. Irving, the youngest of eight children, was clearly the pet of the family. His father, William Irving, was a well-to-do merchant in New York City, a self-made Scotsman who had emigrated to America in 1763. An imaginative but sickly child, Irving was eventually groomed as a lawyer, but his real education took place on a grand tour of Europe in 1804-1806, in lieu of attending Columbia College as had his two older brothers, William and Peter. His adventures abroad included being attacked by pirates while en route to Sicily.

Home Authors Titles Keyword Search ... Reference Washington Irving American author Washington Irving was a short story writer, essayist, poet, travel book writer, biographer, and columnist. Irving was born in New York City (near present-day Wall Street) at the end of the Revolutionary War on April 3, 1783. His parents, Scottish-English immigrants, were great admirers of General George Washington, and named their son after their hero. Irving studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1806, but his career soon gave way to his love of writing. His other interests included architecture and landscape design, traveling, and diplomacy. He is best known, however, as the first American to make a living solely from writing. Initially, he wrote under pen names; one of these was "Diedrich Knickerbocker," who was supposedly an eccentric Dutch scholar. In 1809, using this pen name, Irving wrote A History of New-York that describes and satirizes the lives of the early Dutch settlers of Manhattan. Eventually, the term "Knickerbocker" came to refer to anyone from New York who was of Dutch ancestry. Irving's writing continued with The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent.
