    http://www.cartn.com/mencken.htm
    
    Extractions: Henry Louis Mencken was born on September 12, 1880. He was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. His father owned a Cigar factory. H.L seemed destined to follow in his fathers footsteps. After studying at the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute he worked for his father in the cigar Factory until 1899. This would not be Mencken's lasting contribution to society. In 1899 he began writng for several local, Boston area, newspapers. Two of the more prestigious papers that he worked for were the Baltimore Herald Tribune and Baltimore Sun . He worked as a newspaper writer for most of the 1910's. His career as a newspaper man quickly launched him into the literary world as both a freelance writer and an editor of his own journal, The American Mercury. The scope of Mencken's writings was extremely broad. He satirized the American south after the Scopes Monkey trial, criticized American democracy, joked about Prohibition, challenged the place of women in society, and advocated free speech. He was known throughout his life as an general critic and commentator on American society. Mencken's appeal was in his the shock value of his opinions. Though he was a serious writer, he spoke with a true voice of sarcasm. This made him very difficult to interpret. Mencken wrote very much for himself, rather than for the public. His political ideas often contradicted one another. Above all, Mencken was a sort of entertainer of his generation. Especially during the explosive decade that was the roaring twenties, his outlandish ideas and extreme political views posited an intellectual challenge to the stringent "Victorian" way of life that governed the lives of so many Americans

    Extractions: On a hot day in July 1925, H. L. Mencken arrived in Dayton, Tennessee , to report on the Scopes trial. "The town, I confess, greatly surprised me," he wrote that night. "I expected to find a squalid Southern village, with darkies snoozing on the horse blocks, pigs rooting under the houses and the inhabitants full of hookworm and malaria. What I found was a country town of charm and even beauty." As editor of the American Mercury and reporter for The Baltimore Sun , Mencken was the voice of the Jazz Age . He had often described the South as an intellectual desert and though his first reaction to Dayton was one of pleasant surprise, later he called the town a "universal joke." He complained, "there is no gambling. There is no place to dance. The relatively wicked, when they would indulge themselves, go to Robinson's drug store and debate theology." H. L. Mencken was responsible for suggesting to Clarence Darrow that he volunteer his services in the defense of John Scopes . Mencken hoped to witness a showdown between Darrow and prosecutor William Jennings Bryan . He wanted a front-row seat at an epic battle over science and religion . According to historian Kevin Tierney, "Mencken and Darrow really wanted in some sense to re-fight the

    Extractions: and Articles Humanist of the Month ... Site Map H.L. Mencken Henry Lewis Mencken (1880-1956) was an extremely successful American journalist and prolific writer of books. Known for his sardonic wit, he once published a book consisting entirely of denunciations of him. His autobiography is a must for viewing Americana. His series under the head "The Free Lance," a title typical of his satiric barbs, attacked vice crusaders, politicians and "other such frauds." He believed deeply in free speech and frequently dealt with the conflict between scientific skepticism and religious belief. "Mencken scorned middle class conformity and pretensions. His appeal stemmed from his audacity: In a time when politicians lavished fulsome praise on America, skeptical readers found it refreshing for Mencken to call Americans ….the most timorous, sniveling, poltroonish, ignominious mob of serfs and goose-steppers ever gathered under one flag in Christendom since the end of the middle ages." Quotes: "Religion is fundamentally opposed to everything I hold in veneration - courage, clear thinking, honesty, fairness, and, above all, love of truth." - Autobiographical Notes, 1925

    http://www.freedomparty.org/bookstor/mencken.htm
    
    Extractions: Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956) was a famous American journalist, critic, and editor known for his irreverent social criticism and lively invective. His robust, often savagely witty style and his tremendous productivity as a writer brought him distinction in almost every literary form he attempted. From about 1910 to 1940, he was the most important literary figure in the United States. He began his journalism career at the age of 18 as a reporter with the Baltimore Morning Herald. By the age of 25, he had risen to editor in chief. After the paper closed in 1906, Mencken joined the Baltimore Sun as Sunday editor. He worked for the Sun for the rest of his career, except for leaves of absence during the two world wars. Mencken became famous for his newspaper columns, in which he enjoyed attacking American taste and culture, ridiculing a wide range of popular beliefs. From 1908 to 1923, Mencken wrote about 2,000 book reviews for the magazine Smart Set

    Extractions: Nowadays most people think of H. L. Mencken (1880-1956) as the scourge of the middle-class philistines he dubbed the "booboisie,” but in his own day he was at least as well known as a literary critic. Over the noisy course of a 15-year run as book reviewer for The Smart Set , the magazine he coedited with George Jean Nathan, Mencken reviewed, by his own reckoning, some 2,000 novels, most of them, also by his own reckoning, the work of "100 percent dunderheads." All these achievements and more can be sampled in H. L. Mencken on American Literature , the first new anthology of Mencken's literary criticism published in decades. Joshi, the editor, is a Mencken buff who knows his way around his hero's mon-strous output (Mencken plausibly claimed to have published well in excess of five million words), and though his selection overlaps rather more than it should with William H. Nolte's indispensable H. L. Mencken's Smart Set Criticism (1968), still in print, it also includes a number of previously uncollected pieces, not a few of which are both significant and readable.

    Extractions: mostly he had little use for these entities Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to ruleand both commonly succeed, and are right... The United States has never developed an aristocracy really disinterested or an intelligentsia really intelligent. Its history is simply a record of vacillations between two gangs of frauds. The theory behind representative government is that superior menor at all events, men not inferior to the average in ability and integrityare chosen to manage the public business, and that they carry on this work with reasonable intelligence and honesty. There is little support for that theory in the known facts... The typical lawmaker of today is a man devoid of principlea mere counter in a grotesque and knavish game. If the right pressure could be applied to him he would be cheerfully in favor of polygamy, astrology, or cannibalism.

    Extractions: Mencken Henry Louis (1880-1956). L'écrivain germano-américain Henry Louis Mencken vécut toute son existence à Baltimore, où il se tailla rapidement une réputation d'humoriste iconoclaste grâce à ses articles des Sunpapers entre 1906 et 1948. Il dirigea également deux mensuels : The Smart Set (1914-1923, avec George Jean Nathan) et The American Mercury Prejudices (1919-1927) rassemblent ses essais de journaliste et proposent à une Amérique encore provinciale des modèles étrangers, en même temps qu'ils l'encouragent à s'explorer elle-même et à critiquer sa propre insuffisance culturelle. Les cibles favorites de Mencken sont ce qu'il nomme l' Americano , ou Boobus Americanus , autrement dit le citoyen crédule, patriote, sectaire, prétentieux, gauche et borné ; et encore le clergé hypocrite, le nivellement démocratique, la médiocrité provinciale. D'une caricature féroce des États-Unis, l'écrivain excepte une prétendue "minorité civilisée", tolérante et cultivée. Par germanophilie et anglophobie, il s'est élevé contre Woodrow Wilson et F.D. Roosevelt et a été le champion véhément du conservatisme isolationniste. Son dynamisme, sa personnalité tranchée, la verve de son style lui ont assuré un public important entre 1920 et 1930, décennie à laquelle on l'associe souvent. Ses Mémoires ( The Days of H.L.
