As a follow-up to her Spring lecture on the poetry that emerged from World War I, Dr. Sue Weaver Schopf will present a Fall series, in which she will examine how painting and the novel were transformed by the horrors of the war. How the artists and authors captured their personal experience of the war will be the focus of this series.

**Please note that the start of the course has now been delayed by one week and will run October 8 – November 5**
