Sinopsis de LIFE OF GEORGE WASHINGTON (ILLUSTRATED EDITION)

In Life of George Washington (Illustrated Edition), Washington Irving presents a meticulously crafted biography that intertwines narrative elegance with historical detail, reflecting the emerging American nationalism of the early 19th century. The text is notable for its romanticized portrayal of Washington, employing a blend of factual recount and imaginative storytelling. Irvings use of rich descriptions and vivid imagery invites readers into the world of the founding father, while the inclusion of illustrations enhances the overall experience, allowing for a more immersive understanding of Washingtons legacy in shaping the nation. Washington Irving, often hailed as the father of American literature, was deeply influenced by the cultural context of post-Revolutionary America, a time when the nation sought to define its identity through its heroes. His career as a writer and diplomat imbued him with a keen awareness of the tensions and aspirations evident in American society. Irvings admiration for Washington was not only personal but also reflective of a collective desire to honor the man who symbolized unity and resilience in a fledgling nation. I highly recommend Life of George Washington to those who seek to explore the complexities of one of Americas most revered figures. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the intersection of biography and history, as well as for those who appreciate beautifully illustrated literature that celebrates the spirit of the American Revolution and the ideals of its foremost leader.

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.
