Differentiated book • It has a historical context with research of the time- Composition by Arthur Wesley Dow The historical context is the set of circumstances in history in which an event occurs, so that they exert some kind of influence on it. It is also known as historical framework or referential historical framework. All things human occur within a historical context, whether we are talking about revolutions, discoveries, inventions, works of art, movements, theories, laws, and even our own lives. The function of the historical context is to provide information on the material, social and cultural aspects of history that affect a fact, phenomenon or topic, in order to facilitate its understanding. Sometimes, the phenomena we study also influence the historical context, which deserves to be pointed out.
