Mencken Revisited provides a collection of essays that leads to a deeper understanding of H. L. Mencken, the prominent Baltimore newspaperman, author, and editor. Each of the ten essays sheds new, interesting light on the character of the much-studied Mencken. S. L. Harrison explores Mencken's attitudes toward money through Mencken's private papers, his discovery and encouragement of many writers and especially his finding of the cartoonist Edmund Duffy.

1999Quotations: "Write about topics or people that interest you, then find an editor or publisher who is willing to print what you write. Follow three rules: (1) revise, (2) revise, and (3) revise. Establish a specific time each day to write. Follow that schedule. Set a personal goal—1,000 words or 5,000—whatever is reasonable for you to accomplish. Then do it. Read good writers. No one can teach you how to write."
