You like Lamartine? His early work was a little too royalist for my taste. But when Graziella came out in '52, I think he really came into his own, both commercially and artistically. The whole book has a romantic, french touch and a new sheen of consummate idealism that really gives the book a clear boost. He's been compared to Chateaubriand, but I think Lamartine has a far more nationalist, republican sense of humor.
