English fiction
Literature from England
Fiction written in the English language, or fiction originating from England specifically.
The broader sense encompasses works from any English-speaking country—American, British, Australian, Indian.
The narrower sense distinguishes English fiction from Scottish, Irish, or Welsh: a survey of English fiction from Defoe to Dickens.
Context usually clarifies which is meant.
