Analysis of Historical Eras Research Paper
Analysis, Historical, Eras, Research, Paper
The purpose of the assignment is to explain how literature from the past eras—Enlightenment, Revolutionary, Romantic, Modern, Science Fiction—shaped, influenced, or paved the way for the book you read.
You should also pay special attention to the book’s influence, explain any ideals revealed in your text of choice, how those ideals do or do not reflect ideals from the past and influence the future, and discuss how the characters are indicative of what the intended audience needed, expected, feared, or desired at the time of publication.
You will consider the elements: Writer, Audience, Text, Reality, Critic, and Influence, research them, and offer a thorough explanation in your research paper. Your research should include at a minimum:
(1) information on the author, (2) the social norms and historical events of the time,
(3) literary criticism, (4) genre, and (5) influence. You should explain in detail the influence the text has had on its intended audience and why it is an important piece of literature.
Your paper should focus on what social factors influenced the author to write the book and how the book in turn prompted social change. Your research will focus on the author, the social norms and historical/political events of the time the text was published, any literary criticism or discussion you can find from experts, and how the text was influenced and is still influential.
Determine the genre of the text, do some research on it, and provide your own analysis as to how the text meets those expectations of the genre requirements.
Research:
Author: biography of author – consider what life events, cultural influences (race, religion, nationality, gender, age, etc.), beliefs, or opinions influenced the author and are exposed in the text. What year was the text published? What historical or political events were going on that may have influenced the author and the text?
Audience: Consider social norms of the intended audience. Think about how historical and/or political events may have affected the intended audience’s perception of the text. What assumptions might the audience have? What about their cultural influences?
Text: What makes the text stand on its own as a valuable and classical piece of literature? Consider rhetorical tools (logos, pathos, ethos, Kairos, exigence). If it is a fictional book, consider elements of fiction: plot, point of view, characterization, setting, tone and style, themes, and symbolism.
Reality: How accurate does the author represent the world and universal truths? How factual are the descriptions to real world? How does the author make the text, characters, and message relatable to the reader?
Critic: (you) What experiences, beliefs, assumptions, cultural influences, etc. affect you and your take on the book?
Influence: What social/global influences helped shape the book, and what social change did the book help create in return?
Genre: What genre is the text? Does it meet genre requirements? Why is genre important?
How does your book offer ideals of the eras we have discussed?
- Enlightenment 2. Revolutionary 3. Romantic 4. Modern 5. Science Fiction
What questions asked during these eras are also asked in your book?
How do the main characters embody ideals or traits characteristic of these eras?
Explain the plot. What is the story arc? Include rising action, complications, climax, falling action, and resolution.
What is the setting of the story? How is it important?
What is the point of view? What narrative techniques does the author employ?
What makes the protagonist the hero of the story? Are his or her values and actions heroic? Do they embody social norms of the intended audience, or do they challenge them?
What is the theme? Does it teach a lesson? What does it make the reader consider? How does it intentionally evoke a specific emotional response in the author?
In what ways does the book act as a catalyst to social change? Does it reflect the thoughts, feelings, or fears of its intended audience, or does it create something new for the reader to consider?
Does the book change literature in any way?
What is the genre of the book? List genre requirements. How does the book meet these requirements?
What biographical information on the author will you include? Was the work influenced by anything about the author?
What do other experts have to say about this book, its author, or its genre?
