First, I am going to give you a short definition of context, taken from www.dictionary.com, that says:
- The parts of a written or spoken statement that precede orfollow a specific word or passage, usually influencing itsmeaning or effect: You have misinterpreted my remarkbecause you took it out of context.
- The set of circumstances or facts that surround a particularevent, situation, etc.
We can distinguish to different types of context: context of reception and context of production. The second one alludes to de sircumstances, historycal facts that surrounded the author by the time the book was written. The first one alludes to the background that the reader is living, bay the time he reads the book.
To explain this in a more graphic way, I think it would be proper to mention some examples. The most common contexts of produccion are war, poorness, racism. Although, it can be anythink that the author experienced through his life that has useful for him as an inspiration for writing the book.
