KEY FACTS• Full Title: “The Devil and Tom Walker”• Where Written: Europe• When Published: 1824, in Irving’s collection of short storiestitled Tales of a Traveller• Literary Period: American Romanticism• Genre: Short story; morality tale• Setting: In and around Boston, Massachusetts• Climax: Old Scratch whisks Tom Walker onto the back of a black horse, which gallops away with Tom to his damnation• Antagonist: Greed; Old Scratch• Point of View: Third-person omniscientIn New England, the devil was indeed known as Old Scratch, a name quite likely imported by German and/or Dutch immigrants. After all, the word “Scratch” derives in part from the Old High German words scrato and skraz, both of which refer to a satyr or wood-demon, which also relates, of course, to Old Scratch’s profession as a woodsman, or lumberjack.
"Old Ironsides"
