Stylistic analysis of william words worth's poem “the daffodils” or “i wandered lonely as a cloud”

This paper attempts to present the stylistic analysis of William Wordsworth's poem “The Daffodils” or “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud”. Here linguistic aspects are applied in the analysis and the interpretation of the poem. Apart from discussing title, lexical and syntactical deviations or foregrounding features are taken into account. While analyzing the poem, phonological aspects which provide the poem a quality of incantatory are discussed in detail such as rhythm, rhyming scheme, assonance, consonance etc. Here overall structure, mode of narration as well as cohesive devices such as anaphora, cataphora, coordinators, subordinators, repetition and parallelism are given due importance in the analysis and the interpretation of the poem so that close knit structure of the poem can be appreciated along with its thematic significances.
