Краткое описание

The story, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow", written in 1819 by Washington Irving, has been depicted as a horror story for over a hundred years, and at first glance this characterization seems well deserved; as it has all the makings of a horror story. In the story there is a projection of good vs. evil, in which the figure projected as evil wins. "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" symbolizes Irving Washington and other men's short comings during the shift in the American market from paper, gold, and silver to credit.
