Description

The American Mercury, V1, No. 1-4, January To April, 1924 is a collection of the first four issues of a magazine published by H. L. Mencken. Mencken was an influential American journalist and cultural critic, known for his sharp wit and incisive commentary on politics, society, and culture. The American Mercury was one of Mencken's most significant publications, and these first four issues provide a fascinating glimpse into the cultural landscape of the early 1920s. The articles cover a wide range of topics, including politics, literature, art, and social issues. Some of the most notable pieces include Mencken's scathing critique of American democracy, an examination of the rise of jazz music, and an essay on the state of American literature. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the cultural and intellectual history of the United States in the early 20th century.This is a new release of the original 1924 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
