Context In Modern Prose

Muhtasari

Every modern prose text on this course runs on two clocks. One is the year the story happens in: Umuofia in the 1890s, Maycomb in the middle of the Depression, a near future that is never dated. The other is the year the writer sat down to tell it, from a particular town, a particular family and a particular set of reasons for wanting the story told at all. Contextual reading is what happens when you hold both clocks at once.

This note covers the two contextual factors that sit closest to the text itself: the writer's own life and individual situation, and the historical setting, time and location of the work. It also teaches the discipline that makes contextual knowledge worth marks. Context is credited when it changes an interpretation, and ignored when it is simply recited.

Malengo

  1. Understand the influence of contextual factors on the interpretation of texts
  2. Understand the writer's own life and individual situation where these relate to the text
  3. Understand the historical setting, time and location of the text

Maelezo ya Somo

Here is a paragraph that thousands of candidates write every summer. Things Fall Apart is set in Nigeria. Nigeria was colonised by Britain and became independent in 1960. Chinua Achebe was Nigerian and wrote about his own culture. Every sentence is true. The paragraph scores almost nothing, because nothing in it touches the novel. Swap in another Nigerian novel and it would still be true, which is the surest sign that a context paragraph is not doing any work.
