Synopsis
Mencken Revisited provides a collection of essays that leads to a deeper understanding of H. L. Mencken, the prominent Baltimore newspaperman, author, and editor. Each of the ten essays sheds new, interesting light on the character of the much-studied Mencken. S. L. Harrison explores Mencken's attitudes toward money through Mencken's private papers, his discovery and encouragement of many writers and especially his finding of the cartoonist Edmund Duffy. The author clarifies Mencken's controversial reputation as a bigot, noting that he was tolerant and an advocate for minority rights. He also discusses Mencken's role in the famous Scopes "Monkey Trial," his fights to preserve First Amendment rights, and his ideas about writing. Harrison concludes with an overview of Mencken's lasting effects, his books, and the books about him.

    Terrific seller. Item purchased was in better condition than described. Wonderfully packaged to protect item purchased and it arrived without a scratch on it. I would definitely recommend this seller to others and I anticipate doing business with the seller again. The book purchased is out of print and the seller's price represented an excellent value.

    Can't believe how fast they had this processed and shipped out! Arrived in less than a week! Very well packaged to prevent any possible damage during shipping. The condition is amazing, virtually brand new! The selling price was incredibly low especially considering the excellent condition! I'm highly satisfied and give my highest recommendation! I'll definitely be making more purchases from them!
