Reception
Irving thought highly of Tales of a Traveller, saying: "I think there are in it some of the best things I have ever written". He was therefore disappointed by the book's generally poor critical reception.[1]Template:R/superscript Critic John Neal was severe in his critique,[1]Template:R/superscript saying in American Writers: "We hardly know how to speak of this sad affair .... No wonder that people have begun to question his originality".[2] By the early 20th century, critics generally ranked it lower than The Sketch Book.[1]Template:R/superscript
