It is important to study the historical context of a piece of literature to better understand. The statement is true since the piece of literature may be a depiction of the context or environment in which it was written, whether economy, political, or even social context.
Literature may be a reflection of the time period the author livedthe experienced he or she endured in that context as well as the ideas he or she held about that time period.
Mostly, historical context allows a better understanding of why the author chose what they did for the story, from the setting to the name of the characters and the events developed in the story.
