From the authors who helped define a national literary culture, to the popular sentimentalists who negotiated Christmas’s position at the center of family life, to the realists who looked to reshape American letters in the wake of the Civil War, and beyond: all varieties of American writers turned to Christmas as an inevitable and potent subject during this deeply formative period in the history of American literature. In Christmas Past, Thomas Ruys Smith brings together a diverse range of voices to showcase the many ways in which Christmas was imagined across the nineteenth century, offering images that echo down to the present. The introduction that frames the anthology provides a new literary history of Christmas, contextualizing the selections and making clear the links both between them and to the wider trajectory of American literature.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Washington Irving, born on April 3, 1783, in New York City, and died on November 28, 1859, was an American short story writer, essayist, biographer, and historian, widely regarded as the first American man of letters. He achieved international fame for his fictional works, notably "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle," both of which are among the earliest examples of American fiction with enduring popularity. Irving honed his craft in the early 19th century, a time when American literature was still in its infancy. His mastery of satire, folklore, and historical narrative brought a distinct voice to American writing. "The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent.," a collection of 34 essays and short stories, included "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle," and is credited with introducing American folklore into European literary culture. Apart from his literary contributions, Irving served as the U.S. ambassador to Spain from 1842 to 1846. His biographies of George Washington and Christopher Columbus, along with his multi-volume "The Life of George Washington," remain significant historical works. Irving's legacy lies in his pioneering role in American literature, his inventive storytelling, and his ability to capture the imagination of readers across generations.
