The New Age is a collection of essays written by the renowned American journalist and cultural critic, H. L. Mencken. First published in 1924, this book presents Mencken's views on a variety of topics ranging from politics and economics to literature and art. Mencken was known for his acerbic wit and sharp-tongued commentary, and this book is no exception. In it, he takes aim at many of the prevailing ideas of the time, including Prohibition, religious fundamentalism, and the rise of mass culture. The New Age is a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of America's most influential thinkers and writers, and it remains a classic of American literature to this day.THIS 36 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: In Defense of Women, by H.
