History and Literature: "The Briar Club"
Osher Lifelong Learning Institute
Historical novels tell interesting stories about a time, a place, and the people living there. Authors must do extensive research so their writing accurately reflects the history. Using "The Briar Club" by Kate Quinn as the launching point, this class will offer a one-hour look at the the of the "Red Scare" and McCarthyism, along with the changing roles for women in postwar America. We will then spend an hour discussing the novel as contemporary literature. Readers and history buffs welcome! Participants should read "The Briar Club" before class.
