Used by permission of the publisher. Henry Louis Mencken, 1880-1956 Mencken, Henry Louis, 1880-1956. Editor, essayist, and critic. Henry Louis Mencken was a writer of enormous national influence who also played a leading role in southern intellectual life of the 1920s. A native of Baltimore, he became a contributor to the Smart Set and the American Mercury Evening Mail and was reprinted in his book, Prejudices, Second Series (1920). In his essay he charged that the South was "almost as sterile, artistically, intellectually, culturally, as the Sahara Desert." "In all that gargantuan paradise of the fourth-rate," he contended, "there is not a single picture gallery worth going into, or a single orchestra capable of playing the nine symphonies of Beethoven, or a single opera-house, or a single theater devoted to decent plays." Most southern poetry and prose was drivel, he charged, and "when you come to critics, musical composers, painters, sculptors, architects and the like, you will have to give it up, for there is not even a bad one between the Potomac mud-flats and the Gulf." Nor, Mencken added, a historian, sociologist, philosopher, theologian, or scientist. The essay, written in characteristic Menckenian hyperbole, suggested that the condition of the modern South was especially lamentable because the antebellum South, particularly Virginia, had been the seat of American civilization. Mencken attributed the decline of southern culture to the "poor whites" who, he charged, had seized control of the South after the Civil War. Particularly to blame were the preachers and the politicians. What the South needed, he maintained, was a return to influence of a remnant of the old aristocracy.

Home Page "The capital defect in the culture of These States is the lack of a civilized aristocracy, secure in its position, animated by an intelligent curiosity, skeptical of all facile generalizations, superior to the sentimentality of the mob, and delighting in the battle of ideas for its own sake." - from "American Culture," Yale Review , June 1920, 804-17 Considered an iconoclast and a muckraker, Mencken was for ten years the editor of The American Mercury . This magazine ridiculed the contemporary mores and manners of the American scene. The chief targets included the stupidity of the "booboisie," Puritanism, prohibition, highbrow pretentiousness, and organized religion. Although his writing appears dated, Mencken stripped the remain vestiges of Victorianism and freed the American writer to explore diverse topics. Top Primary Works George Bernard Shaw: His Plays

Mencken was born, lived, and died in Baltimore, and for all but about eight of his seventy-five years resided in one of the city's typical brick-front row houses. From this unlikely spot he radiated an enormous, indeed unique, influence on the intellectual and cultural life of the nation. In 1926 Walter Lippmann called him "the most powerful personal influence on this whole generation of educated people"; the New York Times claimed that he was the most powerful private citizen in America. His caustic wit and bludgeon-like style could evoke worshipful admiration or total loathing; it was impossible to be indifferent to him. His career as journalist began in 1899 when he went to work as a reporter for the Baltimore Morning Herald; by the time the paper folded in 1906 he was its managing editor. Thereupon he transferred to the Sun

From the early days of the twentieth century he led the attack on the genteel tradition in American letters—the Anglo-American tradition that was associated in most readers’ eyes with Henry James, William Dean Howells, and “polite letters.” Mencken championed early literary naturalists and realists, particularly Theodore Dreiser and Sinclair Lewis; and in the pages of the Smart Set and the American Mercury

    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: H. L. Mencken Minority Report (1956), quoted from Jonathon Green, The Cassell Dictionary of Insulting Quotations The way to deal with superstition is not to be polite to it, but to tackle it with all arms, and so rout it, cripple it, and make it forever infamous and ridiculous. Is it, perchance, cherished by persons who should know better? Then their folly should be brought out into the light of day, and exhibited there in all its hideousness until they flee from it, hiding their heads in shame. True enough, even a superstitious man has certain inalienable rights. He has a right to harbor and indulge his imbecilities as long as he pleases, provided only he does not try to inflict them upon other men by force. He has a right to argue for them as eloquently as he can, in season and out of season. He has a right to teach them to his children. But certainly he has no right to be protected against the free criticism of those who do not hold them. He has no right to demand that they be treated as sacred. He has no right to preach them without challenge. Did Darrow, in the course of his dreadful bombardment of Bryan, drop a few shells, incidentally, into measurably cleaner camps? Then let the garrisons of those camps look to their defenses. They are free to shoot back. But they can't disarm their enemy.
