答案：Henry Louis Mencken (1880--1956) was the first American to be widely read as a critic. He was born in Baltimore, Md., on Sept. 12, 1880, and privately educated there. After graduating from Baltimore Polytechnic Institute at the age of 16, he became a reporter on the Baltimore Herald. He rose rapidly; soon he was the Herald’s city editor and then editor. In 1906 Mencken joined the organization known as the Sunpaper, which he served in a variety of ways until his retirement. Mencken’s journalistic skill became his chief handicap as a critic. He had also carried out a fruitful study of the American Language, with some comprehensive works published in this field. By the time of his death on Jan. 29, 1956, in his beloved Baltimore, recognition of his service to the language was everywhere admitted.
