Escapism becomes necessity when your life is just an absolutely brutal and boring march to the grave, like it is for all native born Brits.

Britain, particularly Wales and western England, is objectively the comfiest place ever to have existed, with the loveliest (if not the most striking) landscapes. The people who live on this land and are themselves a part of it are of course then going to produce far comfier literature than someone from Arizona or the Congo

The Brits are the most content people and simple home comforts have a higher place in our culture than any other.

it's a response to the social trauma of the dark satanic mills phase of industrialization

This only applies to the middle class. Lower class Bong lit is full of beatings, rapes, slaughtered kestrels and babies getting stoned to death in their carriages by chavs.

They are all onto something. Britain retained, and still does somewhat, some places which are incredibly pastoral (which is what i assume you mean in this context), but also areas which are incredibly industrialised. This, along with the English class system, and sweeping romanticism of course.

Brit here and yes I would absolutely agree with your assessment of the British Isles as very lovely indeed. However also worth noting is the lack of "drama" as it were in the English landscape in particular. There are no vast mountains, ravines, harsh weather etc. Instead it is calm and unassuming, rolling hills and patchwork fields. If you ask me this is why our literature is so comfy; undeniably beautiful but serene and calm.

The drama comes from the undercurrent of class conflict that belies every social interaction across out comfy af country.
