Highlights About Collections Authors ... Titles by Henry Louis Mencken >> Henry Louis Mencken, 1880-1956 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.

27. Henry Louis Mencken Once Wrote henry louis mencken once wrote A man’s women folk, whatever their outward show of respect for his merit and authority, always regard him secretly as an ass http://www.msu.edu/course/mc/112/1920s/Mencken/women.html

Henry Louis Mencken once wrote "A man’s women folk, whatever their outward show of respect for his merit and authority, always regard him secretly as an ass, and with something akin to pity" (1). While Mencken’s blunt declaration provides shock-value humor, it is also a serious and profound statement that reflects his intellectual deviation from the gender stereotypes of his time. Mencken’s ideas about the societal roles of women differed greatly from those of traditional, conservative, Victorian Americans in the nineteen twenties. In fact, he frequently criticized this genre of Americans, whom he labeled the "booboise", for their "provincialism of attitude in manners, morals, politics, and taste" (Martin 67). In order to compare Mencken’s view with that of the "booboise", however, traditional ideas about gender roles must first be explored. Women in the 1920’s were placed in a socially subordinate position relative to their male counterparts. This was influenced directly by the preceding Victorian era, in which women were expected to be subservient to men in nearly all walks of life. But, even with the "New Woman" of the modern era and notions of female empowerment, the advertising industry still did much to perpetuate ideas of the woman as a domestic servant (Horn 104). Thus, women in the twenties were viewed as domestic creatures, second class citizens, and emotional beings. The advertisement pages of any "Ladies Home Journal" or "Vanity Fair" from the roaring twenties can testify that women were viewed in this time as the administrators of domestic life. Though the flood of new consumer products promised to "empower" women by offering the right to choose, the twenties paradoxically imprisoned them by further entrenching the connection between women and the private, domestic world. This necessarily precluded women from participating in the public arenas of politics, government, and business on the same level as men.

These have numbers in square brackets corresponding to the numbers in the book. Use your browser's `find' or `search' tools to jump to keywords. EDUCATION [43] The effort to educate the uneducable is hopeless. Schools for adults soon become kindergartens for adults. The pupils are quite unable to take in the education proper to their years. The gogues thus have to provide them with amusement, just as children of four are provided with amusement in kindergartens. The hope is that they will somehow learn to think as an accidental by-product of playing, but that hope is vain. The truth is that the average schoolmaster, on all the lower levels, is and always must be...next door to an idiot, for how can one imagine an intelligent man engaging in so puerile an avocation? New York Evening Mail , 23 Jan. 1918. [181] Consider [the pedagogue] in his highest incarnation: the university professor. What is his function? Simply to pass on to fresh generations of numskulls a body of so-called knowledge that is fragmentary, unimportant, and, in large part, untrue. His whole professional activity is circumscribed by the prejudices, vanities and avarices of his university trustees, i.e., a committee of soap-boilers, nail manufacturers, bank-directors and politicians. The moment he offends these vermin he is undone. He cannot so much as think aloud without running a risk of having them fan his pantaloons.

Mencken, a prolific journalist and writer known for his aggressive iconoclasm and brilliant style, was born on September 12, 1880, in Baltimore to August Mencken and Anna Abhau Mencken. In 1883, the Menckens moved to 1524 Hollins Street, where Mencken would reside for the rest of his life, except 1930-35, when he lived with his wife Sara Haardt Mencken (1898-1935) at 704 Cathedral Street. Mencken attended the Knapp's Institute (1886-92) and Baltimore Polytechnic Institute (1892-96), then worked in his father's cigar factory until 1899, when August Mencken suddenly died and Mencken could begin his journalism career as a reporter for the Baltimore Morning Herald. In 1905, Mencken became managing editor of the Herald, which folded in 1906. In 1910, he helped to establish the Baltimore Evening Sun; his column, entitled "Free Lance," appeared from 1911 to 1915. Silenced for his pro-German and anti-British views during World War I, Mencken returned to the Evening Sun in 1920; his wide-ranging "Monday Articles" appeared from 1920 to 1938, when he served as temporary editor. Mencken stopped writing for the Sunpapers in 1941 because he disagreed with the paper's support of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's foreign policy. He spent his next seven years working on books and memoirs. H. L. Mencken
