«Autunno» is the historical novel by Philippe Delerm, published by Sperling & Kupfer in hardcover (242 pages, in Italian).
Set in Victorian England in the mid-nineteenth century, the novel is inspired by the Pre-Raphaelites, a real group of young artists who challenged academic art. Delerm recreates their passionate lives among workshops by the Thames, old mansions, gardens and London taverns, with figures such as Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Elizabeth Siddal and John Ruskin in a world devoted to art.
The work was originally published in 1990 and won the Prix Alain-Fournier. This Italian edition from 2002 includes the translation by Alessandra Emma Giagheddu.
For readers of historical fiction interested in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and nineteenth-century British art.
