That's a magnificent list, thank you. Some I have read and some I have not.
I've never read Denton Welch!
May I strongly suggest *In Youth is Pleasure* as a book I imagine your liking a great deal.
I think I will add that for this precise feeling there also has to be a sort of trancelike quality often associated with summer, although as we discuss it I remember that Alain-Fournier's *Le Grand Meaulnes* is set in the dog-end of winter, but has it.
