Echo's of 1920s: The Lost Generation's Creative Revolution

Osher Online | Available (Membership Required)

This course delves into the literary brilliance and vibrant lives of the Lost Generation—American writers who, disillusioned by the devastation of World War I, gathered in 1920s Paris in search of new cultural and personal identities. We will explore major works by authors such as Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, and T.S. Eliot, alongside the groundbreaking contributions of visual artists of the time. Together, we will examine how these creators captured the alienation and upheaval of their era, producing some of the most transformative art and literature of the 20th century.
