Historical Context

When reading a piece of literature, especially older works, it can be difficult to see the relevance in prose from our 21st-century perspective. Older novels or poetry can use language or references that escape our understanding because the context of the words and their meaning are unknown to the reader. Historical context is an important thing to consider when reading written work-it can change or amplify the overall meaning of the subject and reveal information or perspectives we otherwise would have missed. Today, we’ll go over examples of how historical context plays an important role in writing and reading comprehension.
