Washington Irving
![Daguerreotype of Washington Irving<br />(modern copy by [[Mathew Brady]],<br />original by [[John Plumbe]])](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bf/Irving-Washington-LOC.jpg)
Irving was born and raised in Manhattan to a merchant family. He made his literary debut in 1802 with a series of observational letters to the ''Morning Chronicle'', written under the pseudonym Jonathan Oldstyle. He temporarily moved to England for the family business in 1815, where he achieved fame with the publication of ''The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent.'' which was serialized from 1819 to 1820. He continued to publish regularly throughout his life, and he completed a five-volume biography of George Washington just eight months before his death at age 76 in Tarrytown, New York.
Irving was one of the first American writers to earn acclaim in Europe, and he encouraged other American authors such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Herman Melville, and Edgar Allan Poe. He was also admired by some British writers, including Lord Byron, Thomas Campbell, Charles Dickens, Mary Shelley, Francis Jeffrey, and Walter Scott. He advocated for writing as a legitimate profession and argued for stronger laws to protect American writers from copyright infringement. Provided by Wikipedia
