Serpent in Eden: H. L. Mencken and the South
Fred C. Hobson Jr.
The appearance in 1920 of H. L. Mencken's scathing essay about the intellectual and cultural impoverishment of the South, “The Sahara of the Bozart”, set off a firestorm of reaction in the region that continued unabated for much of the next decade. In Serpent in Eden, Mencken scholar Fred Hobson examines Mencken's love-hate relationship with the South.
