Literature and Culture. Books are written by individuals, but they are always influenced by that individual's society. Therefore, it is important to consider a work's cultural context<span>. </span>Culture<span> can refer to the beliefs, customs, values, and activities of a particular group of people at a particular time.</span>
An example of a story's cultural context can be de <em>Second World War.</em>
Explanation:
Every story has its context in which it develops. Also, the author writes in a special context that can match the context of the story he/she is writing or not. An example of a cultural context can be the second World War; this context will determine the social situation of the characters, their feelings, their jobs, their family issues, everything. Another cultural context can be the Hippie expression in the seventies. All that social and cultural liberation creates a context in which the characters can develop their personal stories or in which the author finds the inspiration for writing. A cultural context can be any event from the globe that determines or conditions people's lives.
