Do you want to be petrified from all the horrendous carcasses lying around. If you do, well I have a luxurious, historic, venue for you! Soldier Island, true to its word is a nice-looking place, but don’t let that trick you, it is very dreary with the scent of rotten flesh.

Context refers to the events and circumstances surrounding the production and reception of a text. A text is shaped by the context surrounding its creation, and in reception, readers gain a deeper appreciation of the purpose of a text by understanding the context in which it was created. Authors are highly influenced by their own personal interests and beliefs – further examples of context – and these influences are demonstrated in H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds. Key elements of Wells’ text were inspired by his love for science, reminiscences of his home town and, through his central protagonist, his self-reflective representation of himself.
