Social, Cultural And Literary Context In Prose
Visão Geral
Every novel you study was written by somebody, inside a society with rules about who may speak, who may marry, who may lead and who may be ignored. It was also written inside a library: a tradition of other books it borrows from, argues with or refuses to imitate. And the moment it left the writer's desk it began a second life, read by strangers in other countries and other decades who found in it things the writer never planned.
This note is about those three pressures: the social and cultural codes a text grows out of, the literary movement or genre it belongs to, and the changing reception that has followed it since publication. Handled well, context is not a paragraph you bolt on at the end. It is the reason a character's small decision carries weight, and it is where the highest AO4 marks in Component 1 are actually won.
Objetivos
- Understand social and cultural contexts including attitudes in society and expectations of different cultural groups
- Understand the literary context of the text including literary movements or genres
- Understand how texts are received and engaged with by different audiences at different times
