This collection of writings from Washington Irving includes a variety of subjects ranging from biographical sketches to personal letters. The titular Spanish Papers are written in the voice of Irving's fictional persona Jonathan Oldstyle and offer satirical commentary on American society. Also included are biographical sketches of notable figures such as naval hero Oliver Hazard Perry and the artist Washington Allston, as well as conversations with the French actor Talma. With its mix of humor, history, and personal reflections, this volume offers a comprehensive look at Irving's writings beyond his more well-known works such as Rip Van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
