| Barsetshire | comment |
Barsetshire is the setting for a novel or series of novels containing one or a few small towns and a lot of countryside. Novels set in a Barsetshire are basically light domestic comedies, though they may have occasional nuggets of melodrama, drama, or even tragedy. Nothing blatantly science-fictional, fantastic, or paranormal takes place (except for the occasional ghost story or local legend related by a character), and any crime or espionage drama is muted and secondary. In short, you go to Barsetshire for a quiet, relaxing time, in the expectation of being gently amused more than anything else. A Barsetshire is connected to the real world, and the people can go off and visit London or New York freely, or have visitors or emigrés from such places. Often, real-world history is visible. A Barsetshire is distinct from other fictional towns in mainstream novels by being the setting for a whole series in which the same characters and places appear over and over, though different people may take center stage in any given book. The Trope Namer is a fictitious county in England created by Anthony Trollope as the setting for his series The Chronicles of Barsetshire. It was later re-used and developed by Angela Thirkell. A Barsetshire may be set within a Fictional Province (usually, as the case of the trope namer, a fictional county), but may also be situated in a quiet corner of a real county. May overlap with Idyllic English Village. Compare Arcadia and Fictional Country. Contrast Lovecraft Country and Campbell Country. |

The Shires, the rural hinterlands immediately surrounding the city of Ankh-Morpork, serve this purpose in the Discworld. These are an explicit reflection of Southern and Western England outside London, and serve as a vehicle for Terry Pratchett to send up every possible literary depiction of Barsetshire that he can cram into the pages of Snuff. | |

The town of Sandford in Hot Fuzz is a pleasant, quiet, low-crime area where everybody's mostly amenable, in a country-England sort of way. The protagonist, who's originally from London, has a lot of trouble fitting in with the town's ways: he's an action movie protagonist trapped in one of these. At least, so it seems. | |

Nancy Ahtherton's Aunt Dimity series is mostly set in and around the village of Finch and the nearby market town of Upper Deeping, said to be in the Cotswolds. Dimity Westwood's ghost is an ongoing presence, but she is very well-mannered and largely confines herself to her cottage and her journal. | |

Lovejoy hangs his hat in a fictional village in East Anglia, though the white-collar crime rate is a bit higher that normal for Barsetshire. | |

Zigzagged in the Village Tales series, beginning with Cross And Poppy. The setting's a lovely bit of countryside and most of the people are charming. Most. But some Serious Things Happen There, as well, from crimes to personal crises to funerals to christenings. | |
