Microcosms and Closed Societies (251 books)

Listopia > Microcosms and Closed Societies

Books where a closed society setting (such as a monastery, prison, school, hospital, small town/village or remote countryside estate, desert island, cruise ship or other traveling party, exclusive club/association, etc.) or any other form of essentially self-contained microcosm is used in order to focus the reader's attention on a limited group of characters, and (more or less) insulate them from the outside world. -- This kind of setting is a staple of crime fiction (Golden Age British mysteries and other so-called "cozies" in particular), but it's by no means limited to that genre.
