What is Three early works : a book of prefaces ; Damn! a book of calumny ; the American credo about?

H. L. Mencken presents master styling in <i>A Book of Prefaces</i> (1917), <i>Damn!</i> (1918), and <i>The American Credo</i> (1920). <i>Prefaces</i> is a book of literary criticism containing the essays "Joseph Conrad," "Theodore Dreiser," "James Huneker," and "Puritanism as a Literary Force." He hoped that "they may at least blow a wind through the prevailing fogs, and reveal what is sound and important in some first-rate books." The ensuing intellectual battle energized a generation. <i>Damn! A Book of Calumny</i> contains some of Mencken's wittier turns in its forty-nine short essays. It has been mined for anthologies, but it has never before been reprinted as a whole. <i>The American Credo: A Contribution Toward the Interpretation of the National Mind</i> contains four hundred and eighty-eight articles, co-written by drama critic George Jean Nathan, about American popular belief.
