English Translation
The setting of the novel is medieval England.
Can someone explain why in this case the article for “England” is used?
You are referring to a specific period in time & space, not to the country alone. Das alte Ägypten, …

Ich reise in ein verändertes Amerika. I travel into a changed America.
