The Encyclopedia Britannica would be a good place to begin. Read it's
overview of parody:
http://www.britannica.com/bcom/eb/article/4/0,5716,60014+1+58548,00.html
And off to the right side of this article, you might consider clicking
that link for "Internet Links". Britannica will list some sites that
it considers features the best examples of parody.

Here is a good article on teaching parody in the classroom. I think
this will be instructive to you:

In searching for you, it is very abundantly clear that there is a
wealth of parody on the WWW, but it seems to be short on the academics.
:-)
Nevertheless, the best way to learn about parody is to see it in action.
So on that note, see the links on the following Yahoo page:
http://dir.yahoo.com/Entertainment/Humor/Parody/
And on this RightBot page:

And on this About.com page:

This book probably contains the best source of information for that
which you seek on parody.
