Produktinformationen zu „Mencken “
A towering figure on the American cultural landscape, H.L. Mencken stands out as one of the most influential writers and iconoclasts of the twentieth century. Marion Rodgers'definitive biography vividly recreates Mencken's era: the glittering tapestry of turn-of-the-century America, the roaring twenties, depressed thirties, and the home front during World War II. But the heart of the book is Mencken himself. When few dared to shatter complacencies, Mencken fought for civil liberties and free speech. We see the prominent role he played in the Scope's Monkey Trial, his long crusade against Prohibition, his fierce battles against press censorship, and his constant exposure of pious frauds and empty uplift. And throughout, Rodgers captures the irrepressible spirit and irreverent wit for which Mencken was famed.
