Headline: Belgian University offers course to study Taylor Swift lyrics
Caption: Belgium's Ghent University will debut a new course this fall called "Literature: Taylor's Version". The course was developed by assistant professor Elly McCausland, who also has a blog called "Swifterature," CNN reports. According to McCausland, "Swift makes frequent allusions to canonical literary texts in her music". "Using Swift's work as a springboard, we will explore, among other topics, literary feminism, ecocriticism, fan studies, and tropes such as the anti-hero." "Swift's enduring popularity stems, at least in part, from the heavily intertextual aspect of her work, and this course will dig deeper to explore its literary roots."
