Features: Washington Irving yearned for a pastoral life and ancient traditions. He loved writing essays and short stories, and most of his major works were set in Europe, with very few depicting life in America. The author particularly focused on odd tales and the customs of remote and impoverished areas. His works were mostly set in England, featuring romantic legends, descriptions of British customs, and travel essays.
