About the Author

Mencken, H. L.: - H. L. MENCKEN (1880-1956), journalist, satirist, critic of American life, and one of the most influential American writers of the 20th century, believed that criticism rose to the level of art when it was used as a springboard for the critic's own philosophizing on art and culture. Among his best-known works are The American Language (1919), Prejudices (1919-27), The Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche (1907) and Happy Days (1940).
