Sinopsis

Salmagundi, or, The Whim-Whams and Opinions of Launcelot Langstaff, Esq. and Others is a satirical periodical published in New York City in 1807 and 1808. Primarily the work of Washington Irving, his brother William, and James Kirke Paulding, the journal offered humorous observations on New York society, politics, and culture. Written under pseudonyms, the authors adopted the persona of Launcelot Langstaff and a circle of friends to deliver their witty social commentary.The essays, poems, and sketches in 'Salmagundi' reflect a vibrant and rapidly changing America, capturing the spirit of early 19th-century New York. The collection provides a valuable glimpse into the literary landscape and social customs of the time, and it remains a significant work in the development of American humor and literary nationalism.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
