Charles Didier (1805–1864)
Didier, Charles (dēd-yā’). A French poet and novelist (1805–64); born at Geneva. Among his novels, designed to awaken patriotic sentiment in Italy, were: ‘Underground Rome’ (2 vols., 1833); ‘The Roman Campagna’ (1842); and ‘Fifty Years in the Wilderness’ (1857). His lyric poems, ‘Melodies’ (1827), are characterized less by force than by sweetness.
