L. Mencken: Plays and Criticism, S. T. Joshi has assembled for the first time Mencken's dramatic works, comprising six one-act plays and the lengthy three-act play Heliogabalus. These plays, which have never been reprinted since their original appearances in newspapers or in Mencken's early volume A Book of Burlesques (1916), exhibit Mencken's penchant for satire and ridicule. The second half of this book features a selection of Mencken's early writings (1905-17) on drama, most of which have never been reprinted. Various essays on Shakespeare, Shaw, Synge, Strindberg, Ibsen, and others exhibit Mencken's keenness as a literary critic and his understanding of the aesthetic possibilities of the drama. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scarecrow Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46864358342807,"sku":"9780810883697","price":10186.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780810883697.webp?v=1769973994","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/collected-drama-of-h-l-mencken-plays-and-criticism-9780810883697","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
