The Old and New World Romanticism of Washington Irving

?A product of Hofstra University's International Conference in Celebration of the Bicentennial of the Births of Zhukovskii, Stendhal, and Washington Irving, 13-15 October 1983, these essays bring Irving scholarship up to date in the context in which he has his most significant meaning--that of romanticism. Contributors range from senior scholars such as Ralph Aderman and William Hedges, who helped spark the Irving revival in the 1960s, to younger minds that have had the advantage of the two decades of Irving scholarship in the crystallization of their ideas. The entire program and additional conference information are included. Valuable to undergraduates but necessary for graduates studying Irving or his period.?-Choice
