AQA A level English Literature AO4 (help!)

AO4 involves connections across texts and sees possible meanings and interpretations arising not only out of the contexts of the text itself (AO3 above) but also out of the wider and broader contexts which comes from the study of period. Thus even when an individual text is being investigated it should still be seen as being framed by a wider network of texts and contexts to which it.

Could someone please put this in simple terms and perhaps offer examples and how it differs from historical/social/literary context (AO3)?
