"Taylor Swift, arguably the most prolific and acclaimed singer-songwriter of the 21st century, has shaped her listeners' collective consciousness and challenged her industry's often limiting attitudes toward genre, revision, and collaboration. The Literary Taylor Swift both explores Swift's engagements, intertextual and otherwise, with literature and treats her songs as literature-as stories, poems, and other textual forms to which literary-critical theories and methodologies can be productively applied. These essays present four themes: Swift and the literary-historical canon; Swift and the language of gender and sexuality; Swift and the relationship between writing and memory; and Swift and the nature of literary craft"--
