  1. LAP 4: Poetry Literary Types Understanding Setting and Context

  2. Setting • The setting of a literary work is the time and place in which it occurs, together with all the details used to create a sense of a particular time period and location. • Poets often create setting by using sensory details, or words and phrases that describe how things look, sound, smell, taste, or feel.

  3. Context • In literature, context refers to the conditions in which the poem occurs. • Interpreting a poem within its historical context requires that you have some knowledge of the time period in which it was written or of the events it describes. • Cultural context is less dependent on a time period than on the culture of the poet, speaker, or subject of the poem.

  4. Using Reading Strategies • Visualize • Use background information • Take notes • Ask questions
