Osher Online: The Lost Generation   

Examine the cultural transformations in thinking and living that reshaped America and Western Europe between World War I and the Great Depression. Known as the Roaring Twenties, the Jazz Age, and the Lost Generation, this period redefined values and norms. Explore the vibrant world of 1920s Paris through F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “Babylon Revisited” and “Bernice Bobs Her Hair,” Ernest Hemingway’s “The Sun Also Rises,” and Gertrude Stein’s “The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas,” and consider the lasting legacy of the era. Click here for a promo video.
