"Writers of Knickerbocker New York" by Hamilton Wright Mabie is a historical account penned in the early 20th century. This book explores the early literary scene of New York City and its emergence as a cultural hub, detailing the contributions of prominent writers associated with the city's Knickerbocker tradition. The work likely examines the social, political, and artistic climate that shaped these writers and their output during a transformative period in American history. The narrative outlines the life and works of key figures like Washington Irving, James Kirke Paulding, and Fitz-Greene Halleck, encapsulating their influence on American literature and the Knickerbocker group's communal spirit. Mabie reflects on the ambiance of early 19th-century New York, characterized by a vibrant social life and an emerging literary identity, which gave birth to notable literary works, including Irving's "Rip Van Winkle" and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." The text serves not only as a tribute to these writers but also as a rich historical document that captures the charm and character of a bygone era in American cultural history.
