Abstract

Reviews 105 gins with Richard Wagner and bleeds into postmodernists like Umberto Eco, he lists books by Darwin and Zola as well as Dreiser’s Sister Car- rie, thus managing to cast more mist over the demarcation lines between romanticism, naturalism, modernism, and postmodernism. But the basic blur preceded this book. And it can’t obscure Lehan’s considerable achieve- ment in Literary Modernism and Beyond. —Lawrence E. Hussman, Wright State University, Emeritus H. L. Mencken: An Annotated Bibliography, by S. T. Joshi. Lanham, Maryland: Scarecrow Press, 2009. 292 pp. Cloth, $75.00. This comprehensive annotated bibliography is, as Joshi explains, “chiefl y designed to provide substantive information on Mencken’s magazine and newspaper work—work that has not been studied from a bibliographic perspective since the publication of the fi rst signifi cant Mencken bibli- ography, Betty Adler’s H.
