Stylistic Analysis of Robert Frost's 'The Secret Sits' and William Shakespeare's 'Sonnet 18'


Seminar Paper, 2004

9 Pages, Grade: 2,0


Abstract or Introduction

The paper is divided in two parts: the first deals with the poem "The Secret Sits" by Robert Frost. It tries to illustrate and state the aims of linguistic stylstics.
The second and bigger part deals with a principle of Stylistics: Stylistics requires “precision of reference to the text in support of a particular interpretation”, and emphatically not “precision of interpretation” (based on H.G. Widdowson).
Starting from this principle the paper offers a stylistic interpretation of William Shakespeare's Sonnet 18.
