Escrito por Washington Irving


Washington Irving
Nació en Nueva York, el 30 de abril de 1783. Realizó estudios de Derecho, pero su vocación se interesaba más por el periodismo y la escritura que por la abogacía. En 1802 comenzó a escribir artículos en periódicos de Nueva York. En 1815 se fue a vivir a Liverpool y allí trabó amistad con importantes hombres de letras: sir Walter Scott y Thomas Moore, entre otros. Escribió algunos ensayos y relatos bajo el seudónimo de Geoffrey Crayon. En Madrid perteneció al cuerpo diplomático de su país. Nuevamente en Estados Unidos en 1846, regresó a Sunnyside, su casa de campo, y allí falleció el 28 de noviembre de 1859.
