Diedrich Knickerbocker

Diedrich Knickerbocker Washington Irving has created a pseudo historian to improve his work and to entertain readers. In 1809, Irving wrote "New York history" through a character named Didrich Knickerbocker. This time for the first time Knickerbocker appeared in Irving's work, it is not his last work. He is not so, but Nick Bock is a historian who seems to be in love with the northeast, especially New York people and the landscape. Irving has never been revealed, but some of his characteristics may be seen in the writing of Knickerbocker.

Owen put the story in the second situation. It was said that this story was found in a paper by Diedrich Knickerbocker. Of course, Nick Bock was one of the earliest works of Owen, a fictional writer of the world's earliest Didrich-Knickerbocker in New York's history, Owen's first masterpiece as well. I have never explained how Diedrich Knickerbocker's paper was learned by Geoffrey Crayon. Two, Geoffrey Crayon and Diedrich Knickerbocker separate the actual writer Owen from the work; this separation encourages readers to be ironic about the story told by Owen. It may also constitute the self destruction of the author, the author's disappearance behind his work. Ironically, this success led to a weakening of the authors' sense of accomplishment.

Insist on independence from Britain. As a narrator, Geoffrey Crayon is not responsible for the authenticity of the story. In protesting that he found this in the late Diedrich Knickerbocker's document, he heard it from some old Dutch wife. . With clever ingenious movements, Owen asked Knickerbocker to add an appendix to ensure the truth of the story. Actually, the problem that Rip is absent for the first time in 20 years is very important, so the critics are still discussing today. When doing bowling, Rip really met the Dutch - if so, did they do something for him with magical wine that allows him to sleep for twenty years? Or was Lip running away from his wife and just returned after she died safely? The interpretation of the role of Rip depends on whether the narrator is reliable or not. Is DipVan Winkle an innocent wife drawn by Rip and Crayon? Or is she the product of so many literary women, men's perspective? (See romanticism.)
