The Friends of the Humanities will offer a “Books and Films” course, “Harper Lee: Myth and Reality”, beginning in January.
The class will be taught by Dr. Mary Ann Wilson, professor of English at the ˾. Wilson’s areas of expertise are 19th- and 20th-century American literature, Southern literature and women’s studies.
Classes will meet on Wednesdays from 6:30-8:30 p.m. in Griffin Hall, Room 201, on the UL ˾ campus, starting Jan. 13, 2016. The last class will be held Feb. 17. The cost is $75 for Friends of the Humanities members and $100 for others.
Students will read Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird” and “Go Set a Watchman.” Readings will be enhanced by Mark Childress’ essays, “Looking for Harper Lee”; PBS Masterpiece documentary “Harper Lee: Hey Boo”; film clips; and other relevant materials. There will be no tests for this course.
