"Every story would be another story, and unrecognizable if it took up its characters and plot and happened somewhere else... Fiction depends for its life on place. Place is the crossroads of circumstance, the proving ground of, What happened? Who's here? Who's coming?..."
Eudora Welty

Setting is the time and place of a literary work that establish its context.
The elements of setting may include geographic location, a character's physical and mental environments, prevailing cultural attitudes, or the historical time in which the action takes place.
The stories of Sandra Cisneros are set in the American southwest in the mid to late 20th century, those of James Joyce in Dublin, Ireland in the early 20th century.
