Autumn. Season of mists and mellow fruitfu lness. Two old friends&mdash\;Daniel\, a centenarian\, and Elisabeth\, bor n in 1984&mdash\;look to both the future and the past as the United Kingdo m stands divided by a historic\, once-in-a-generation summer. Love is won\ , love is lost. Hope is hand-in-hand with hopelessness. The seasons roll r ound\, as ever. A luminous meditation on the meaning of richness and harve st and worth\, \;Autumn \;is the first installment of Ali Smith&rsquo\;s Seasonal Quartet\, and it casts an eye over our own time: Who are we? What are we made of? Shakespearean jeu d&rsquo\;esprit\, Keats ian melancholy\, the sheer bright energy of 1960s pop art. \;Autum n \;is wide-ranging in time-scale and light-footed through histor ies.
