This is asking you to look at the time period in which a particular writer is writing. Then show how this writer draws a picture of this of this period in his book. Genre means type of literature; style is the way in which the author is writing and vision is how the author is looking at life.
For instance, if you are looking at Jane Austin, you would need to know something of her life and the social mores of her time. Then when you read Pride and Prejudice you would be able to relate the book to the time in which Austin was writing and what she was saying about life in her time.
By a careful study of a work, the author, and of the time period in which the work was written, show how, in terms of genre, style, and vision, the writer holds up a mirror to his or her age.
Can anyone please tell me exactly what the question is asking.
