Context is a major component of OCR A Level English Literature, particularly in Paper 2: Comparative and Contextual study. Having done my A Levels this year (2018), I found this resource very useful to make and revise from for my exams considering that Part A of the paper involved 12.5% AO3 Context and Part B involves a massive 50% AO3. In order to really know your texts well, be it American literature, Dystopia or Women, you have to understand the context. This will also help you understand the writer’s purpose and make intellectual interpretations about unseen passages in the OCR paper. Good luck to current A Level students. I hope you find this resource useful. Comment down any queries you may have!!
