1. The use of con-text with a hyphen is deployed by Barker and Hulme in “Nymphs and Reapers Heavily Vanish: The Discursive Con-texts of The Tempest ” (1985). They argue that it proposes “a break from the inequality of the usual text/context relationship. Con-texts are themselves texts and must be read with : they do not simply make up a background” (236). My own use of the terminology is akin to Barker and Hulme’s as regards the importance bestowed on the texts which exist alongside the literary one, but I chose to capitalise both parts of the term, in an attempt to award the same emphasis to both.
