BRUSSELS (AFP) - From 'Alice in Wonderland' to 'The Great Gatsby', 'Rebecca' to 'Jane Eyre', the songs of singer-songwriter Taylor Swift are filled with clear and subtle literary references.
Swift has gone from strength to strength since her debut album in 2006, reaching the pinnacle of her career this year with the Eras Tour, currently competing with Beyonce's Renaissance to become the first billion-dollar tour.BRUSSELS - From"Alice in Wonderland" to"The Great Gatsby","Rebecca" to"Jane Eyre", the songs of singer-songwriter Taylor Swift are filled with clear and subtle literary references.
McCausland decided earlier this year to mastermind a course to start in September inspired by Swift's work after listening to"The Great War", also from"Midnights". "The whole point is to get people to think that English literature is not a load of old books from a long time ago festering in a library. But it's a living, breathing thing and it's continually evolving and changing," she said.
Swift refers to the works of several more writers, including Charles Dickens and Emily Dickinson, and McCausland noted parallels also with the style of other writers including British Romantic poets of the early 19th century. The course is very popular and McCausland has received requests to join from outside the university, even via private messages on Instagram.
