Week 3: Paris

Paris in the early years of the 20th century was a center of flourishing arts and creativity. Writers, musicians, and performers flocked to the city—frequently because of persecution or injustice in their home country. This week, you continue your investigation into how cultural expressions are connected to historical events and change.
