(1802) is a collection of nine observational letters written by American writer Washington Irving under the pseudonym Jonathan Oldstyle. The letters lampoon marriage, manners, dress and culture of early 19th century New York. They are Irvings début in print. Jonathan Oldstyle is the first of many pseudonyms under which Irving wrote during his career and it stands out as a descriptive name for the character of the narrator - an aging bachelor who observes with astonishment the newfangled impulses of youth. The Oldstyle letters were well received in New York and despite the use of the pseudonym, Irvings identity as Oldstyle was not a secret. The public enjoyed them, but Irving would always look back on the letters as crude and boyish. _x000D_ Washington Irving (1783-1859) was an American author, essayist, biographer, historian, and diplomat of the early 19th century.
