Henry Louis Mencken (1880 - 1956) by Gibbons Burke T he most prominent newspaperman, book reviewer, and political commentator of his day, Henry Louis Mencken was a libertarian before the word came into usage. His prose is as clear as an azure sky, and his rhetoric as deadly as a rifle shot. Frequent targets of his lance were Franklin Roosevelt and New Deal politics, Comstocks victuals offered up by Chesapeake Bay. M encken's writing is endearing because of its wit, its crisp style, and the obvious delight he takes in it. The Introduction to The Impossible H.L. Mencken: A Collection of His Best Newspaper Stories , edited by Marion Elizabeth Rodgers which relates Mencken's manner while reporting on the presidential conventions: No other entertainment gave him greater pleasure than reporting from the conventions; nor did anyone appreciate his efforts more than Mencken himself. One reporter, peering through Mencken's window late at night after one rally, recalled watching him at work alone in his hotel room, pounding out copy on a typewriter propped on a desk. He would type a few sentences, read them, slap his thigh, toss his head back, and roar with laughter. Then he would type some more lines, guffaw, and so on until the end of the article. A cigar jammed in the side of Mencken's mouth completes the image. Rare is the picture of him without one in a hand, his mouth, or a nearby ashtray. (His father was the owner of Baltimore's Mencken Cigar Company, which provided Mencken his first gainful employment, which he ditched not long after his father's death to become a cub reporter.) Here's Mencken's assessment of life in the United States:

Memento Mori Alistair Cooke (1908-2004) Alistair Cooke, best knows to Menckenians as the compiler of The Vintage Mencken and to the rest of America as the host of Masterpiece Theatre , died at midnight on 2004-03-30. Readers interested in Mr Cooke’s biography may turn to the many competent and interesting obituaries which followed his death. Here we will focus on Mr Cooke’s connection with H. L. Mencken. Alistair Cooke made his first visit to the United States in 1932, on a two-year fellowship. He spent the 1932-33 academic year at the Yale University School of Drama and attended Harvard the following year. There, a course in the history of the English language in America led him to correspond with H. L. Mencken. The two men developed a friendship. Mr Cooke attributed exposure to Mencken as leading him to decide on newspaper work. Mr Mencken quoted Mr Cooke’s observation on “the infiltration of English by Americanisms” in

A National Historic Landmark, this brick, Italianate row house was the residence of noted Baltimore Sun journalist and author Henry Louis Mencken from 1883 until his death in 1956. A curmudgeon with an acidic writing style, Mencken gained national recognition as one of the most influential critics of American culture, politics, education and life, coining the word "booboisie" to describe the American public. His influence was unmistakable as the foremost authority on the American language through his multi-volumed The American Language . He also discovered and championed such new and bold American writers as James Branch Cabell and Sinclair Lewis. Mencken's diatribes against American culture and democracy went so deep that he once received an appreciative authographed photograph from Germany's Kaiser Wilhelm II. Mencken himself came from German ancestry, and was vocal about his opposistion to American involvement in World War I. Mencken's interests went beyond the politics and contemporary culture of the day; he once produced a book on the philosophy of German philogist-turned-philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.
