The text is merely one of the contexts of a piece of literat

Summary

This quote suggests that the words in a literary text are just one aspect to consider when analyzing it. The quote argues that other elements such as the social, psychological, historical, anthropological, and generic aspects are equally significant in understanding a piece of literature. In essence, it asserts that a comprehensive analysis of literature should not focus solely on the words used, but should also take into account the broader cultural, historical, and societal contexts surrounding it.
