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 Helen Simonson’s, The Hazelbourne Ladies Motorcycle and Flying Club as the launching point, this class offers a one-hour look at the history of England after World War I and the Spanish Influenza pandemic, emphasizing rapidly changing political, economic, and social realities. We will then spend an hour discussing the novel as contemporary literature. Readers and history buffs welcome! Participants should read The Hazelbourne Ladies Motorcycle and Flying Club before class.
