Der amerikanische Prosa-Künstler Washington Irving hat mit seinen Erzählungen einen prägenden Einfluss auf die amerikanische Literatur ausgeübt. Das liegt an seiner sehr angenehmen Sprachgestaltung und dem Realitätsbezug des gewählten Gegenstands. Allerdings ummantelt er seine Geschichten ebenso gerne mit einem Grotesk-Phantastischen Gewand, so dass man zum einen nie weiß was als nächstes kommt und zum anderen immer das Gefühl vermittelt bekommt hautnah dabei zu sein, wobei einem die beschriebenen Szenen sofort vor dem geistigen Auge vorüberzuziehen scheinen.
