Introduction

Overview

The resources in this section are meant primarily for English students, but anyone interested in essay writing can benefit from them.

Our goal is to provide an in-depth reading of a literary text. To make things easy, we’ve picked a fairly short and accessible poem–William Wordsworth’s “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud.” As we analyze the text, we’ll explain the basics of literary interpretation and build up to a sample research essay.

Enjoy!
