Abstract

The current research delves into an extensive stylistic analysis of John Keats' "Ode to a Nightingale," leveraging both stylistic and intertextual analysis frameworks. By incorporating theories proposed by Julia Kristeva and Ivor Armstrong Richards, the research explores the intricate correlation of Keats' poetic discourse with modern sensibilities. Utilizing a "Close Reading Model" for stylistic analysis, the examination scrutinizes Keats' utilization  of figurative language and word choices, unveiling his connection to contemporary world. Moreover, the intertextual analysis section highlights themes and their resonance with modern discourse, exposing Keats' adeptness at weaving literary devices such as, personification, symbols, imagery, repetition, and allusion throughout the poem. This investigation unveils a remarkable amalgamation of literary elements, enriching our understanding of Keats' enduring contribution to literature.
