About H. L. Mencken
H. L. Mencken (1880-1956) was an influential American journalist, essayist, and cultural critic known for his wit and skepticism towards American society and its institutions. Revered for his sharp commentary on politics, religion, and the absurdities of life, Mencken was a leading figure in the literary movement of the early 20th century, often referred to as the "Sage of Baltimore." His notable works include "In Defense of Women" and his extensive coverage of the Scopes "Monkey" Trial, which highlighted the clash between science and religion in America.
