This setting is called the local color of a region or region. You must have come across such jurisdiction in the field reading prose or novel.
Such a beautiful local flavor called Wessex (modern Dorset) was written by Thomas Hardy in his novels. If you read a wide range of your novels, Wessex will appear in front of your mind - so beautiful, so bright! India Rudiard Kipling also shares the same local color. R.K. Narayan beautifully portrays the imaginative village "Malgudi" - somewhere in South India - in his novels.
The representation of a local shade or color continues to appear in the writings of several authors. After the civil war, many American writers used the local flavor of America. For example, various parts of America, like the Mississippi region, were used by Mark Twain, South George Washington Cable, Midwest E. W. Howe, West Bret Hart and New England Mary Wilkins Freeman and Sarah Orn Jewett,
The local color letter focuses on the characteristics of this area. This is mainly about the comic or sentimental idea of the distinctness of the surface of the region. It does not reflect the deep, complex and generalized characteristics and problems of the region.
This powerful image of local color in novels, Wessex’s Hardy novels and Malgudi’s novels in R. Narayan’s novels became immortal in the history of literature!
