Pierre Munro Irving
Edit ProfileEducation
Irving was graduated from Columbia College in 1821, and studied law.
Career
Like most of the Irvings, Pierre Munro early manifested strong literary tastes, and coming to manhood during the first successes of his uncle, idealized him, and devoted much of his life to him. An interesting glimpse of Pierre as a young and attractive wanderer is afforded in the letters of Washington Irving written from Spain in 1827. The older man, then engaged upon his life of Columbus, was lonely, and confided to his nephew his unhappiness at his estrangement from Americans by reason of his long absence in Europe. The intimacy here commenced continued, and, after Irving's return to the United States in 1832, found expression in literary collaboration. Washington Irving's Astoria (1836) owed its existence chiefly to Pierre Irving's industry in collecting and collating materials regarding John Jacob Astor's famous expedition.
After his uncle's ambassadorship to Spain, which ended in 1846, Pierre managed both the financial and literary affairs of the author, and during his last illness kept an encyclopedic journal of his conversations. After appointment in 1859 as literary executor of Washington Irving, he used this material and a vast collection of notebooks and letters to write his four-volume biography, The Life and Letters of Washington Irving (1862 - 64).
He died in 1876.
