It’s laying out background and establishing context in order to better buttress arguments made later in the work. It’s a pretty standard rhetorical technique in academic criticism to lay out the foundation of your position and the background of a work through your particular critical lens before getting into the individual arguments you’re presenting. It gives those individual arguments a stronger base and shores up the overall criticism you’re presenting as compared to waiting to bring that foundation up until after presenting the arguments; people who would reject your basis would reject it regardless of when it was presented, and people who wouldn’t may reject the arguments before hearing their underpinning due to disagreement with the conclusion.
