Quiz: What type of literary melancholy are you?

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

I cannot resist the world 'melancholy.'

What kind of literary melancholy are you?

My result: British interwar melancholy

Your melancholy stems from the fact that you are almost certainly an unspeakable of Oscar Wilde sort. You are fond of Forster, Ford, Waugh, Graves, and Huxley, and are caught between the idealism and nostalgia of golden years past and look with dread upon an uncertain future. You are prone to fits of tears and reminisce fondly upon your (imagined) time at Oxbridge. You long for touch and to be touched more than you will care to admit.

Guilty on all counts. Sob! :)

Ha! What a fun quiz! My results (pretty apt!):

Victorian Gothic melancholy

if only you could spend your life in haunted country mansions, surrounded by spectres in the dark and perpetual fog. you are fond of tales of duality (Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde, Frankenstein), and sexual repression (Jane Eyre, Dracula), and the sort of inner torment that comes from being pale and poor. you keep your secrets close and a flask of laudanum even closer.
