The legendary H. L. Mencken exists solely in the minds of his
hostile critics and his least intelligent admirers, who have
derived their impression of him from his opponents rather than from
himself. -from H. L. Mencken In this spirited exploration of the
career of H. L. Mencken, Ernest Boyd looks at the controversial
journalist and freethinker as an American and quintessential
Baltimorean ("whenever he is guilty of the slightest treason
against Baltimore, he hastens to make amends"), as a philosopher
and contradictory defender of Nietzsche, and as a critic,
"hard-working hedonist and champion of the plutocracy, romantic
survivor of the age of American innocence." Boyd leaves no doubt as
to why Mencken is considered one of the most influential American
writers of the 20th century. American author ERNEST BOYD
(1887-1946) was born in Dublin but began his literary career in New
York City in 1920. Among his works of commentary, criticism, and
translation Portraits, Real and Imaginary (1924), Guy de Maupassant
(1926), and Literary Blasphemies (1927).
