Autorenporträt
Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956) was one of America's most prolific authors, essayists and critics of the first half of the twentieth century. His most scholarly venture remains the multi-volume "The American Language," a wide-ranging study of how English is spoken in the USA. In all, he published well over 40 books, and numerous essays during his lifetime. His home in Baltimore has been maintained as a museum honoring his work.
