| Editorial Review |
| 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. |
