Answer:
when the Enlightenment period occurred
the major ideas of the Enlightenment
the social and political contexts of the Enlightenment
Explanation:
If my teacher describes an author as writing during the Enlightenment, the following topics would be useful to research to understand the significance of this fact:
1. when the Enlightenment period occurred
2. the major ideas of the Enlightenment
3. the social and political contexts of the Enlightenment.
These would be important to understand what the Enlightenment period was all about and what was expected of writers during that period and what was taboo during that period. Also, finding out when this period occurred would help understand the author's writings better.
