Abstract | In this paper I report on a qualitative study on the relationship between students' backgrounds and the contexts of literature texts and the role that this relationship plays in meaning making. Participants in the study were three Sierra Leonean "A" level literature students. Participants gave their views on literature in general and the "A"level literature program in particular and responded to questions on linguistic and cultural content of two plays, Shakespeare's "Coriolanus" and Soyinka's "Death and the King's Horseman". I found that students prefer culturally familiar texts, but that their appreciation of culturally unfamiliar texts was not seriously hampered by lack of content schema. They employed techniques such as attempting to discern meaning from the context, imposing meaning from their own background knowledge, and adopting, or consciously contradicting what they perceived as the writers' perspectives.
