MENCKEN
CONTINUED FROM FRONT FLAP
H. L.
Mencken was unquestionably the most
provocative and influential journalist and cultural
critic in twentieth-century America. The six volumes
of Prejudices, published between 1919 and
1927,
were both a slashing attack on what Mencken saw
as American provincialism and hypocrisy and a
resounding defense of the writers and thinkers he
thought of as harbingers of a new frankness and
maturity. Laced with savage humor and delighting in
verbal play, Mencken s prose remains a one-of-a-kind
roller-coaster ride through a staggering range of
themes: literature and journalism, politics and reli¬
gion, sex and marriage, food and drink.
In this and a companion volume, The Library of
America presents all six series of Prejudices in their
original form. The first three series include some of
his most famous writing, including The Sahara of
the Bozart, an attack on Southern culture so unbri¬
dled as to earn him widespread criticism from politi¬
cians and the press; The National Letters, a lively
and free-spoken survey of writing in America; The
Dry Millennium, an analysis of the multiple absurd¬
ities of Prohibition; Exeunt Omnes, an unblinking
and deromanticized contemplation ot death; and
On Being an American, a humorous celebration of
the political and cultural panorama that he saw as
incomparably the greatest show on earth. Here are
his harsh summing-up of Theodore Roosevelt s
career ( he didn t believe in democracy; he believed
simply in government ) and his sympathetic portraits
of literary friends like James Huneker and George
Jean Nathan. Mencken s account of the original
reception of Prejudices, from his memoir My Life as
Editor and Author, is included as an appendix.
Edmund Wilson wrote: Mencken s mind
...
has all
the courage in the world in a country where courage

is rare. That courage may sometimes have been cou¬
pled with an inflexible stubbornness that led him
into positions hard to defend. But to succeeding
generations of writers and readers, Mencken was the
figure who had risked charges of heresy and sedition
and almost single-handedly brought America into a
new cultural era. To read him is to be plunged into an
era whose culture wars were easily as ferocious as
those of our own day, in the company of a critic of
vast curiosity and vivacious frankness.

H. L.
Mencken was the most provocative and influential jour¬
nalist and cultural critic in twenticth-centur? America. In this
voltane
and a companion.
America presents all
six
senes
of Prejudices, the iconoclastic essay collections.
lished between 1919 and
1927,
that ushered in a new cos¬
mopolitanism and skepticism. Taking on all aspects of what he
saw as the
conformism ane
culture, Mencken launched himself with gusto at a wide-
range of targets, in prose of incomparable humor
лпЛ
richness.
Mencken has done more for the national letters than am
man alive.
