American Satire: The Literature of Dawn Powell and Mary McCarthy
Lifelong Learning
Join one of the U's leading literature scholars to discover the work of two masters of wit and social observation: Dawn Powell and Mary McCarthy. These great American stylists chronicled mid-twentieth-century American culture sharply and scathingly. If you enjoy Edith Wharton, you'll love this class on two clever writers who followed in her footsteps.
