Sinopsis

Salmagundi, Or, the Whimwhams & Opinions of Launcelot Langstaff, Esq. & Others is a collection of satirical essays originally published in serial form in 1807 and 1808. Penned by Washington Irving, his brother William Irving, and James Kirke Paulding, under various pseudonyms, the work offers a humorous and often biting commentary on early 19th-century New York City society and manners. Through the fictional persona of Launcelot Langstaff and other characters, the authors lampoon the social customs, political foibles, and cultural pretensions of their time. The essays range from light-hearted observations to sharp critiques, capturing the spirit and character of a burgeoning American metropolis. 'Salmagundi' stands as a significant contribution to early American literature, showcasing the wit and observational skills of its celebrated authors and providing a valuable glimpse into the social landscape of a bygone era.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
