'Romantic Foreplay With Literary Studies' is a serial collection of literary essays (seminar papers, assignments, presentations) in the course of my studies at masters level in the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. They may not be 'perfect' academic works because they are my toddlings in literary studies. These toddlings come in series, in which I did my best to loosely group the essays according to relatedness, or sometimes, according to works mentored by a particular teacher. I again beg imperfection to please spare me. Hopefully, six (6) parts will be reeled out, this is the part three. This third part contains four essays in four chapters altogether, and it is subtitled, '...Exploring the Versatility of Literacy Studies. I so much wish that you read this collection and do an honest review or critique of them because that is the purpose for which they are put out here. A writer's confidence should be built from such engaging comments as you can give. Your critique or review matters to me because they would inform and probably reform me and my writing, making me a better litterateur, thanks.
