Author: DIDIER, Charles.
Title: Une Annee en Espagne.
Description: Brussels, Societe Typographique 1837. Two volumes 12mo, publisher's printed wrappers. A tidemark in the margins of a fair slab of the first volume, taking the shine off what would be a rather good copy. ¶ This came with a collection of French utopians, socialists and troublemaking feminists and I wonder why. He may well report on social and political troubles and the work of utopian socialists in Spain but without reading the book (and I won't) the closest I can get is that he was one of George Sand's lovers and failed to excite the French about Giacomo Leopardi long before St Beuve succeeded. Having Leopardi die young in the meantime must have helped St Beuve. Didier started out as a Swiss poet and went on to a handful each of novels and travel books.
