  Swifterature - A Love Story:...

  A daring literary fusion of pop culture and feminism, Swifterature captures the special connection between English literature and the worldwide phenomenon of Taylor Swift. 
  Swifterature captures a unique fusion of different elements: fandom, feminism, and a defense of both literature and popular culture. 
  The narrative is split into thirteen chapters that use Swift's lyrics as departure points. The listener experiences the inspiring influence of English literature as Swift’s lens breathes new vitality and urgency into older texts. McCausland also writes about her own experiences as she copes with intense media scrutiny and is forced to defend her academic integrity. 
  She argues that Swift, through her self-conscious engagement with classic works of literature and her extraordinary popularity, invites us to reflect not only on the culture of our past but also of our present. Swifterature shows how Swift’s place on the world’s stage can teach us about many things, from feminism to politics, nature to childhood. In the process the book makes a compelling case that studying Taylor Swift also turns us into better readers, not only of literature but of ourselves and each other.

  On the Lukmanier route to Italy in the Swiss Alps, in the village of Flims, stands the 17th century Schlössli, the former residence of the wealthy and influential Johann Gaudenz von Capol (1641–1723). With its stucco work by artists from Valle Mesolcina and Southern Germany, stoves from Winterthur and the Lake Constance region, a panelled parlour – possibly by a southern German master, and a panel from Eger, the building unites prevailing influences from allover Europe. The architectural monument is an excellent example of how open and internationally oriented the inhabitants were even1883, first to Berlin and later to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where it is still located and called ‹Swiss Room›, as wellas the conversion of the residential house into the town hall of Flims – also exemplifies a chapter of Swiss art and cultural history.
