MENCKEN: A MEMOIR BY ALFRED A. KNOPF. // From Charles A. Fecher's essay: "Converting me to anything is probably a psychological impossibility. At all events, it has never been achieved by anyone. . . I can't recall ever changing my mind about any capital matter. My general body of fundamental ideas is the same today as it was in the days when I first began to ponder." (MENCKEN). This lifelong immutability of his thought was remarked on by many people besides himself. To a friend and colleague like Hamilton Owens, it signified that Mencken had been able to avoid the painful intellectual experience to most of us, of being forced to discard one set of beliefs because they had proved false or inadequate and then grope about for a new set to take their place.To critics or outright enemies, it constituted proof positive that he was narrow-minded and prejudiced, closed to any point of view that did not happen to coincide with his own, and had never gone through the normal processes of maturing (p. 114f) . . . From his high regard for scientific achievement his skeptical attitude naturally follows.His opinions on religion lead directly to what might be called, if in his case it did not sound so dreadfully formal, his "philosophy of man." His view of human nature is the foundation for his contemptuous dismissal of democracy, and for all his beliefs about government and politics. And so it goes.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. This is the 1980 First Edition of "On Mencken", which consists of essays by eight men who worked with or knew the great newspaper columnist, and professional curmudgeon, H. L. Mencken in one way or another. The essayists are William Manchester, Malcolm Moos, Huntington Cairns, William Nolte, Alistair Cooke, Carl Bode, Charles A. Fecher, Alfred A. Knopf. Published by Alfred A. Knopf, the book was edited by John Dorsey, who also wrote the Introduction. From the dust-jacket flap : "In essays celebrating the incomparable H. L. Mencken, on the centenary of his birth, eight distinguished writers and editors consider various aspects of the man and his work - telling of his life, his writings, his prejudices, his passions, and his profound influence on American letters in the first half of the Twentieth Century. --- The result is a book that offers much pleasure and new insights to Mencken's admirers, and that will serve, for anyone not familiar with him, as a fine introduction to one of the most colorful and memorable figures in modern Twentieth Century American letters."
