Description
He was one of the most influential American writers of the 20th century, and the six collections of his essays and reviews published between 1919 and 1927 as his *Prejudices* are among his most entertaining reading. American satirist and critic HENRY LOUIS MENCKEN (1880-1956) 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. In this Third Series of *Prejudices, * first published in 1922, he brings his unique-and uniquely witty-perspective to such essays as: - "On Being an American" - "Footnote on Criticism" - "Das Kapital" - "Star-Spangled Men" - "The Poet and His Art" - "The Nature of Liberty" - "The Novel" - "The Forward-Looker" - "Types of Men" - "The Dismal Science" - "Matters of State" - "Reflections on the Drama" - and more.
