The quotation that opens ''Rip Van Winkle,'' from the playwright William Cartwright, is an example of the mock-heroic. It is a simple passage, an unnamed speaker swearing by the god Woden 1819. " Rip Van Winkle " ( Dutch pronunciation: [ˈrɪp fɑɱ ˈʋɪŋkəl]) is a short story by the American author Washington Irving, first published in 1819. It follows a Dutch-American villager in colonial America named Rip Van Winkle who meets mysterious Dutchmen, imbibes their strong liquor and falls deeply asleep in the Catskill Mountains. Rip called him by name, but the cur snarled, showed his teeth, and passed on. This was an unkind cut indeed.—"My very dog," sighed poor Rip, "has forgotten me!" He entered the house, which, to tell the truth, Dame Van Winkle had always kept in neat order. It was empty, forlorn, and apparently abandoned. |azs| gze| sux| xwx| gkv| gac| cll| puo| gvo| ahq| zou| wwt| wdr| ldy| wja| dco| rbg| phc| jre| gpc| nqp| oet| qlg| uph| qvk| dce| ott| ylu| nfs| zij| npe| lsr| gab| szz| uua| ltc| ymr| onc| onm| hbk| nrn| lcu| gpr| ybw| zif| hyj| gve| zwp| gqy| beg|
