COMING OF AGE IN CANADA: ANNE SHIRLEY AND BRIAN O’CONNAL Robert Timko Part I: February 1‒February 26; Part II: March 8‒April 2 Sometimes children’s literature may be intended for an audience of adult readers. This may well be the case with Lucy Maud Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables and W.O. Mitchell’s Who Has Seen the Wind. What happens when childhood imagination collides with reality, keeping in mind that reality consists of both natural and social forces? What value might imagination have in our lives as we mature? Can these novels about childhood teach us about duty, respect, faith and hypocrisy? Class limit: 35 20 Spring 2021 | OLLI at Temple | olli@temple.edu | (215) 204-1505
