Canon Fanfiction - Christine Schott - Bog

Fanfiction as a genre has exploded in popularity among young adults in the internet age. It also bears resemblance to the work of literary scholars, who seek to respond, sometimes radically, to the difficult or problematic elements in texts they study. This book offers a study of novelizations based on Classical, Medieval, and Renaissance literature and suggests ways in which such "literary fanfiction" can be harnessed in the classroom.
