Question

What term is used to describe the people and events that influence a writer?

Answer 1

Answer:

B). Historical context.

Explanation:

As per the question, the term that is employed to describe the people and events that dominate a writer is 'historical context' as the conditions that prevailed during the time the text was written and place where it was written influences the subject or theme dealt in a particular work as we often say 'literature is the mirror of society'. For example: Austen raised the issue of injustices towards women which was quite dominant in the time she was writing in while the modernists were inclined towards portraying individualism and absurdity of modern life. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
