Context

Context means the conditions under which something occurs. The historical context would be the time and place that the work of fiction was written (like the setting of the author). The cultural context is like the social context of the author. The cultural context influences the author's perspective.

For a story or novel that you've read, tell us about the historical or cultural context in which it was written and how it affected the story.
