production and reception has no bearing on the literary work which is aesthetically
autonomous, having its own laws, being a world into itself.

it : the text is produced within a specific historical context but in its literariness it
remains separate from that context.
(3) Literary works can help us to understand the time in which they are set : realist texts
in particular provide imaginative representations of specific historical moments,
events or periods.
(4) Literary texts are bound up with other discourses and rhetorical structures : they are
part of a history that is still in the process of being written.
