- Hey friends! In this video I explore the question 'What makes literature autumnal' and compile and categorize my favourite autumnal novels, plays, poems, and non-fiction.

Fantastic classics there. Happy reading and best wishes.
This is a great list! I have a number of these on my Fall TBR, I can’t wait ✨ Another play that would be perfect for autumn might be Doctor Faustus by Christopher Marlowe. I read it back in fall of 2020 and really enjoyed it!
Yes I would love to read that one!! I know it's based off the legend as Goethe's Faust which is my favourite play of all time (so far ;))
Autumnal literature truly is "rich and emotive."
Yay! I just found you! A classics reader! 😁♥️✨
Saving this one for when it cools off in Chicago! (Mid 80s here.)
Loved this video!!
Hi! Loved this video, thank you so much. I just wanted to note that James Joyce is Irish and Cervantes is Spanish, so neither should be in the 'British' category 😊
Good point! I meant to put Cervantes in the other 'European Literature' category, and I admit I put Joyce in the British category for simplicity's sake 😬
Read affinity by Sarah Waters, very spooky and atmospheric!
Great list!! Thank you for including House of Seven Gables, yours is the only autumn list I’ve found that does.
One more modern recommendation- Woman in White by Wilkie Collins
I adored your opening monologue! New subscriber 🧡
Thank you for the rec!! And thanks for being here!
do you take notes on the books and articles you read? if so, would you mind explaining or making a video on it? ❤😊
I always take notes on articles, but for books, it depends. Generally, I don't take notes on fiction unless it's intense intellectually - for example, I would not take notes on Anne of Green Gables but I might on The Brothers Karamazov. For non-fiction books I often take notes. Sometimes note-taking can take the joy out of reading, so it also depends on how I'm feeling and what I'm reading for. I love the video idea! I might make one soon using The Iliad as an example.
@@cleopatrickk Thank you! Yes i think my notetaking changes depending on the book i’m reading as well. Currently trying to find a good way to take notes on non-fiction (specifically literary criticism), would definitely love to see your approach! :)
Wow. Have you read all of these?! Amazing. How? Tell me your secrets!
I've read 80% of them over the past 7 years or so (it helps when you're a Humanities student). The rest are on my TBR and have been recommended to me for autumn.
Where are you reading this from?
Canada!
@@cleopatrickk I meant the text. Where is it from?
@@lauras4472 oh haha sorry! Which text are you referring to
@@cleopatrickk I think they meant the opening monologue part! 🙂
@lauras4472 I wrote it! Its published on my SubStack
