"For the bicentennial of its original publication-the first full-length book from the father of the American short story In 1809, New Yorkers were buzzing about a series of classified ads concerning the whereabouts of Dutch historian Diedrich Knickerbocker. They were unaware that Washington Irving had invented the man entirely and placed the ads himself. Knickerbocker's purported manuscript, A History of New York, was Irving's own. Told from Knickerbocker's point of view, A History of New York is a chronicle of New York's fifty years under Dutch rule in the 1600s that plays fast and loose with the facts, to uproarious effect. Irving's good-humored spoofing had staying power, and his satire provided the city with its first self-portrait. A History of New York propelled Irving to the heights of literary stardom and even made a little history of its own: New Yorkers are called Knickerbockers to this day."@en
"This manuscript comprises an early draft fragment for Vol. I, pp. 111-124 of the 1809 first edition of Irving's work, a burlesque history of New York narrated by the comic Dutch-American scholar Diedrich Knickerbocker. The fragment contains many unpublished passages, and has been studied by Michael L. Black for the Wisconsin Irving edition. The remaining manuscript fragments of the work are at the University of Virginia and the New York Public Library."@en
