BTSB is a student webzine that covers everything from poems to politics. We are a part of SUB ry, the student organization of English students at the University of Helsinki.

In this essay, I study the differences and similarities in the use of fantastic elements in Washington Irving’s short stories ‘The Legend of Sleepy Hollow’ (1820) and ‘Rip Van Winkle’ (1819) and James Hogg’s short stories ‘The Brownie of the Black Haggs‘ (1828), ‘The Mysterious Bride’ (1830) and ‘Seeking the Houdy’ (1830).
