They are all set in a country going through great changes, starting with the American Revolution and the separation from the British monarchy, leaving behind old traditions and customs for new ones. Irving succeeds in giving life to very singular characters who still belong to the American cultural background today; in particular, the lanky and impressionable Ichabod Crane in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and the lazy and carefree Rip Van Winkle in the story of the same name. The Spectre Bridegroom completes this clear and vivid picture of an emerging late eighteenth-century America. Washington Irving The Legend of Sleepy Hollow B1 (Threshold) Pre-Intermediate S
