Product Description
Baltimore native Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956) was an essayist, literary critic, magazine editor, novelist, and journalist. Starting as a reporter for the Baltimore Morning Herald at the turn of the century, Mencken eventually became associated with the Baltimore Sun and his work for the newspaper spanned five decades. In H.L. Mencken: An Annotated Bibliography, S.T. Joshi provides the most exhaustive and comprehensive bibliography of the writings of H. L. Mencken ever assembled. It presents detailed information on his book publications from 1903 to the present, with a full list of editions and reprints. Most significantly, it presents for the first time a comprehensive annotated listing of his magazine and newspaper work (including more than 1,500 anonymous editorials for the Baltimore Sun, Baltimore Evening Sun, and other papers, which have never been listed in any previous bibliographies), a thorough index to his book reviews, and a full list of interviews Mencken gave during his lifetime. Word counts of nearly every item in the bibliography have been supplied, and the book has been thoroughly indexed by name, title, and periodical. Because every item has been annotated, scholars and students can, for the first time, gain an idea of the subject-matter of all Mencken's writings, especially his magazine and newspaper work. The indexes will allow users to locate any given item with ease. The chronological arrangement of each section allows users to understand the growth and development of Mencken's work, making this volume an invaluable resource.
H.L. Mencken: An Annotated Bibliography Review
A handsome, classified, annotated bibliography devoted to one of America's most prominent journalists and literary critics of the 20th century.
Joshi provides a brief, but thorough introduction, and then proceeds to pick up where the scholarly works of Betty Adler's "H.L.M.: The Mencken Bibliography (Johns Hopkins UP, 1961) [and supplements] and Richard J. Schrader's "H.L. Mencken: A Bibliography" (U of Pittsburgh P, 1999) left off.
Intended to "provide substantive information on Menchen's magazine and newspaper work," Section A is devoted to "Books and Pamphlets" ["information on the original appearances of the materials in Mencken's books"] ; Section B to "Works Edited or Translated" by Mencken, including, Books, Magazines, Newspapers and Articles; Section C to "Original Contributions to Books"; Section D to "Original Contributions to Magazines" [including his book review columns]; and, Section F to "Interviews". The main text is followed by four appendices and a thorough, classified index (a name index, "Titles by Mencken" index and "Periodicals."
Sunand Tryambak Joshi, spent his early years focused on the life and writings of H. P. Lovecraft, earning his bachelor's and master's degrees at Brown University where he delved into their library's extensive holdings of Lovecraft's manuscripts. That interest led to doctoral work at Princeton and his subsequent career as a distinguished bibliographer and author devoted to Lovecraft's life and works. In recent years, Joshi has turned his attention to Ambrose Bierce, George Sterling, and "the California literary circle," and it was in the tracing of connections between these writers that led to his writings on Mencken, which -- in addition to the present text -- now include: "H. L. Mencken on American Literature" (Ohio UP, 2002), "H. L. Mencken on Religion" (Prometheus Books, 2002), and "Mencken's America" (Ohio UP, 2004).
Highly recommended for college and university library collections and faculty/students interested in writing a thesis, dissertation or article related to 20th century American journalism.
