Washington Irving's collection of stories, Legends of Sleepy Hollow and Other Tales, is an example of early American gothic literature. Its focus on the supernatural and its exploration of psychological themes speaks to the author's interest in probing into the darker corners of human nature. At the same time, though, Irving also employs a variety of techniques ranging from comic wit to dark irony, making his work accessible to a wide range of readers.
