Explanation and Analysis:

The novella is predominantly set at a fictional country estate called Bly, which is situated in Essex, England. The frame narrative, however, begins in a home outside of London on Christmas Eve and presumably takes place at some point in the late 1800s, which is when The Turn of the Screw was written.
