Taylor Swift’s lyrics are filled with literary connections. And who better to enlighten us than the two women who literally wrote the book on it! Join Rachel Feder and Tiffany Tatreau, authors of the recently published Taylor Swift by the Book: The Literature Behind the Lyrics, from Fairy Tales to Tortured Poets, as they highlight the many novels, poems, and plays that influence Taylor’s songwriting. Let a literature professor and a musical theater artist guide you through the Taylor Swift canon—from Shakespeare to the Brontë sisters to Daphne du Maurier.
