Washington Irving was born in New York City on April 3, 1783. Though trained for the law, he turned to writing. The Rabelaisian humor of A History of New York from the Beginning of the World to the End of the Dutch Dynasty (1809), written under the name of Diedrich Knickerbocker, won him wide popularity. In 1815 Irving journeyed to England to manage a branch of the family business. This ended in failure, and he was compelled to write to support himself. International fame came with the publication of The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. (1819-1820). In 1826 Irving went to Spain on a diplomatic assignment. His three-year stay there inspired the writing of The History of the Life and Voyages of Christopher Columbus (1828), and The Alhambra (1832). In 1829 he was assigned to London as Secretary of the United States Legation, and after extensive traveling, served as Minister to Spain from 1842 to 1846. In 1846 Irving returned to his home in Tarrytown, New York, where he worked and studied until his death on November 28, 1859.
