Download or read book The Life and Riotous Times of H.L. Mencken written by William Manchester and published by Rosetta Books. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Written with verve, intellectual sophistication, and a prickly wit worthy of its eminent subject. . . . A first-class piece of literate entertainment” (The New Yorker). Before he went on to become a celebrated biographer and historian, renowned for such works as A World Lit Only by Fire, American Caesar, and The Last Lion, William Manchester worked as a reporter for the Baltimore Sun in the 1940s—and it was there that he met fellow journalist H. L. Mencken. This book tells the story of conservative, anarchist H. L. Mencken’s life in compelling, intimate detail—and offers a uniquely personal look at the influential cultural critic and satirist who cofounded the magazines the American Mercury and the Smart Set and became a legend for his sharp and highly quotable wit.

Book Synopsis Writings in the Smart Set, Volume 1: 1908-1911: Edited and Annotated by S. T. Joshi by : H. L. Mencken
Download or read book Writings in the Smart Set, Volume 1: 1908-1911: Edited and Annotated by S. T. Joshi written by H. L. Mencken and published by Collected Essays and Journalis. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: H. L. Mencken (1880-1956) was an enormously prolific author and journalist, and the great majority of his work remains uncollected. This first volume of his Collected Essays and Journalism contains the first of eight volumes of his writings for the Smart Set, a highbrow periodical for which he wrote extensively during the years 1908-1923. Hired as a book reviewer late in 1908, Mencken began writing 5000-word reviews that covered the entire range of American, English, and European literature. He was particularly interested in the novel, championing the work of Theodore Dreiser, H. G. Wells, Joseph Conrad, Arnold Bennett, and others. Among playwrights he looked with favor on George Bernard Shaw and John Galsworthy. But some of Mencken's most pungent reviews are his condemnations of "trade goods"--the hack writing of now-forgotten popular writers such as Robert W. Chambers and Marie Corelli. Throughout these reviews, Mencken's vibrant prose, lively wit, and keen analytical skills are on display. The book has been edited and annotated by S. T. Joshi, a leading authority on Mencken.

Book excerpt: Baltimore native Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956) was an essayist, literary critic, magazine editor, novelist, and journalist. Starting as a reporter for the Baltimore Morning Herald at the turn of the century, Mencken eventually became associated with the Baltimore Sun and his work for the newspaper spanned five decades. In H.L. Mencken: An Annotated Bibliography, S.T. Joshi provides the most exhaustive and comprehensive bibliography of the writings of H. L. Mencken ever assembled. It presents detailed information on his book publications from 1903 to the present, with a full list of editions and reprints. Most significantly, it presents for the first time a comprehensive annotated listing of his magazine and newspaper work (including more than 1,500 anonymous editorials for the Baltimore Sun, Baltimore Evening Sun, and other papers, which have never been listed in any previous bibliographies), a thorough index to his book reviews, and a full list of interviews Mencken gave during his lifetime. Word counts of nearly every item in the bibliography have been supplied, and the book has been thoroughly indexed by name, title, and periodical. Because every item has been annotated, scholars and students can, for the first time, gain an idea of the subject-matter of all Mencken's writings, especially his magazine and newspaper work. The indexes will allow users to locate any given item with ease. The chronological arrangement of each section allows users to understand the growth and development of Mencken's work, making this volume an invaluable resource.

Book Synopsis Writings in the Smart Set, Volume 8: 1922-1923: Edited and Annotated by S. T. Joshi by : H. L. Mencken
Download or read book Writings in the Smart Set, Volume 8: 1922-1923: Edited and Annotated by S. T. Joshi written by H. L. Mencken and published by Collected Essays and Journalis. This book was released on 2019-01-23 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this final volume of his writings from the Smart Set, we see H. L. Mencken at the top of his form as critic, satirist, and commentator. Among his many trenchant reviews are assessments of Sinclair Lewis (Babbitt), D. H. Lawrence, Sherwood Anderson, Willa Cather, and others, even including discussions of books on baseball and a new translation of the Bible. In his final column, "Fifteen Years," Mencken reflects on his decade and a half of reviewing. In their ongoing "Répétition Générale" column, Mencken and his coeditor, George Jean Nathan, continue to probe controversial subjects, from the Ku Klux Klan to Prohibition. Particularly noteworthy is a "conversation" between Mencken and Nathan "on the darker races," dealing with the prospects of interracial marriage in the United States. All in all, Mencken's writings in the Smart Set constitute some of the most vibrant magazine writing of this period, and it has now been gathered in one edition for the first time.

Book Synopsis The Collected Drama of H. L. Mencken by : S. T. Joshi
Download or read book The Collected Drama of H. L. Mencken written by S. T. Joshi and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2012-06-07 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout his career as a literary critic, H. L. Mencken was intent on elevating the bold, the daring, and the innovative over the hackneyed, the trite, and the superficial, and his drama criticism exhibits this tendency to the fullest. Though known primarily as a newspaperman and commentator, Mencken also wrote several one-act plays, as well as a full-length work. In The Collected Drama of H. L. Mencken: Plays and Criticism, S. T. Joshi has assembled for the first time Mencken’s dramatic works, comprising six one-act plays and the lengthy three-act play Heliogabalus. These plays, which have never been reprinted since their original appearances in newspapers or in Mencken’s early volume A Book of Burlesques (1916), exhibit Mencken’s penchant for satire and ridicule. Several of the plays, such as In the Vestry Room and The Wedding: A Stage Direction, display Mencken’s oft-expressed cynicism about the institution of marriage. Another related play is Asepsis, a satire on exaggerated concerns about sexual health in young married couples. Other plays take aim at the cultural deficiencies of the common people, such as Death: A Philosophical Discussion, which relays the hackneyed reactions of a group of mourners over the death of a friend. Mencken’s most significant play by far is Heliogabalus, a play he co-wrote with his frequent collaborator, George Jean Nathan, in which Mencken expresses his scorn of the Christian religion. The second half of this book features a selection of Mencken’s early writings (1905–17) on drama, most of which have never been reprinted. Various essays on Shakespeare, Shaw, Synge, Strindberg, Ibsen, and others exhibit Mencken’s keenness as a literary critic and his understanding of the aesthetic possibilities of the drama. With an introduction by the editor who provides an overview of Mencken’s work as a dramatist and drama critic, this collection will be of interest to amateur and even professional drama companies, theatre historians, and of course, anyone interested in the writings of Mencken.
