Exhibit
A View of the Parade: H.L. Mencken and American Magazines
Through Monday, November 30
The George Peabody Library
This exhibit documents Mencken's contributions to American magazines as both a commentator and a topic of commentary, and demonstrates the important role that magazines played in American life from the 1900s through the 1950s. Drawing from the rich resources of the George H. Thompson Collection of Henry Loius Mencken, it allows us to understand Mencken's broader context and to glimpse the history of American magazines during a time of rapid cultural change. For further information about Friends of the Libararies' events, please call 410-516-7943 or email libraryfriends@jhu.edu.
