His Writing First international literary celebrity Genius for inventing fictional narrators Up until this point, we had no real FICTION from America Borrowed openly from European writing New voice- the settings/sounds of America “Rip Van Winkle” is actually a German tale, but Irving used American settings; the Catskill Mountains and Revolution to make it his.

1 st to make a living off of only writing Allowed him to continue parties, people, and praise Recognized short stories’ ability to be own genre (category of writing)

Contributions to Short Story Popularity Added local settings Added humor Added rich atmosphere and tone Created independent genre Stripped it of educational/religious nature Fluid and beautiful writing style Individual characters (not stereotypes)

Romantic Period Story-telling relives pressure about progress of US Link between fact and fiction and past and present Celebrated pastoral ideal and rural landscapes (nature)

Rip Van Winkle A story about past times Begins just before Revolutionary War (1775)
