SOLUTION: Fine Arts

PROBLEM: This man used his experiences in Spain to write Tales of the Alhambra and wrote under the pen name "Jonathan Oldstyle." This man's History of New York was written under the pen name of Diedich Knickerbocker. In another of his works, the main character romances Katrina Van Tassel. That character of this author is driven from the title town by (*) Brom Bones, who dresses as the Headless Horseman to terrify Ichabod Crane. For 10 points, name this American author of "Rip van Winkle" and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow."

SOLUTION: Literature

PROBLEM: This work notes that the central subject must be considered as a "discourse" in the sense defined by Foucault and arising from a dynamic created by Edward Lane and Louis Massignon. The author of this work repeatedly identifies as a humanist, vilifies Ernest Renan, and largely avoids examdining German and Russian forms of the central subject. Feminist critiques often focus on this work's discussion of the short story "Herodias" and Gustave Flaubert's encounter with Kuchuk Hanem. This work sparked a vitriolic debate in The New York Review of Books between the author and Bernard Lewis, identified as the leading modern practitioner of the academic form of the central subject, which it defines as a politically-charged power relationship ultimately serving imperialism. Declaring that accounts from men like Lord Byron and Napoleon have led to the West's false conceptualization of the Middle East, for 10 points, identify this landmark 1978 work by Edward Said.
