Textual Con·text
:
The circumstances that form the setting for an event, statement, or idea, and in terms of which it can be fully understood
and assessed within context.
The parts of something written or spoken that immediately precede and follow a word or passage and clarify its meaning.
Historical Context
:
Historical context refers to the moods, attitudes, and conditions that existed in a certain time. Context is the "setting"
for an event that occurs, and it will have an impact on the relevance of the event. Context is an important factor to consider
when describing something in history.
Thus, to compare the American 'gun slinger/
cowboy' with the Japanese, lordless
Samurai, the Ronin, is an extreme time-context
jump and history ignorance.
