The article focuses on the book "The World of Washington Irving," by Van Wyck Brooks. The book is thronged with eager and curious men pouring out from the colonial seaboard between 1800 and 1840 to contend in the new land with savages, animals, and primitive nature. The plain men, the settlers and pioneers are little heard from, but Brooks draws in rich detail from the reports of explorers, painters, and naturalists. The romance of origin, of lineage, of unexpected and particular association in time and space run through the book.
