Reading The Sketch-Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. | Alexandria
Read The Sketch-Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. by Washington Irving. Bridging old-world European charm with raw American character, Irving's Sketch-Book shatters assumptions about national identity. Its wandering narrator reveals how displacement and cultural mixing - not purity - create vibrant societies. This radical idea challenged 19th century nationalism and speaks powerfully to today's immigration debates.
