"The normal American of the 'pure-blooded' majority goes to rest every night with an uneasy feeling that there is a burglar under the bed and he gets up every morning with a sickening fear that his underwear has been stolen." -H. L. Mencken, The Anglo-Saxon (1923) The Anglo-Saxon (1923), is an essay by H. L. Mencken in which he criticized Anglo-Saxonism, a belief system of late 19th century and early 20th century promoting the superiority of English-speaking nations. Mencken, although he considered himself of true Anglo-Saxon ancestry, thought the American Anglo-Saxon to be inferior and weak.

Autorenporträt
H. L. MENCKEN (1880-1956), journalist, satirist, critic of American life, and one of the most influential American writers of the 20th century, 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. Among his best-known works are The American Language (1919), Prejudices (1919-27), The Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche (1907) and Happy Days (1940).
