Irving, Washington (1783–1859), the first American author to gain recognition abroad. Chiefly remembered as a historian and as the writer of romantic sketches and tales, he also served as a diplomat. In 1802–3 he published, in the New York
Morning Chronicle, a series entitled ‘The Letters of Jonathan Oldstyle’, several of which give a vivid picture of the contemporary New York stage. He was co-author of
Salmagundi (1807–8), which includes a number of satiric letters on the state of the theatre. He later collaborated with John Howard
Payne in several plays. Their
Charles II (1824) and
Richelieu (1826), both adapted from French originals, were particularly successful. His short story ‘Rip Van Winkle’ (first published in 1819) was adapted for the stage by James
Hackett in 1825. Other adaptations followed, the most successful being that of Joseph
Jefferson III and Dion
Boucicault in 1865, in which Jefferson scored his greatest success.
