Bracebridge Hall, or The Humorists, A Medley was written by Washington Irving in 1821, while he lived in England, and published in 1822. This episodic novel was originally published under his pseudonym Geoffrey Crayon.

Plot introduction[edit]

As this is a location-based series of character sketches, there are a number of individual plots. The tales centre on the occupants of an English manor (based on Aston Hall, near Birmingham, England, which was occupied by members of the Bracebridge family and which Irving visited).

Plot summary[edit]

As this is a series of character sketches, the most effective way currently to describe this book is to list the contents.

Release details[edit]

All are hardcover editions except the 1823 and 1991 (binding unknown).

References[edit]
