Charles de Bernard : Le Gentilhomme campagnard
Elizabeth Barrett Browning to Mary Russell Mitford, 30 April 1847: 'At Pisa, Robert read to me while I was ill [following miscarriage], & partly by being read to & partly by reading I got through a good deal of amusing French book-work, & among the rest, two volumes of Bernard's new ["]Gentilhomme Campagnard." Rather dull I thought it, but clever of course -- dull for Bernard. Then we read "Le Speronare" by Dumas -- a delightful book of travels.'
