The [[Trope Namer]] is a fictitious county in England, created by [[Anthony Trollope (Creator)|Anthony Trollope]] and later re-used and developed by Angela Thirkell. A Barsetshire is the setting for a 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.
