THARAUD DE LA TOUCHE]. Olivier. P., Urbain Canel, 1826, in-1 - Lot 52
THARAUD DE LA TOUCHE]. Olivier. P., Urbain Canel, 1826, in-12, 226 p., full bradel tobacco boards, smooth threaded spine with red title-piece (binding rubbed, pale russets passim). First edition of this anonymously published novel, generally attributed to H. Tharaud de La Touche, notably by Sainte-Beuve (Barbier III, 706; Vicaire 6, 263). In a corrective letter published in the Moniteur universel of 27 January 1827, he formally denied being the author and also denied the attribution to the duchess of Duras. In reality, this publication was a malicious trick played by La Touche to Madame de Duras, after the success of "Ourika" and "Edouard" (Quérard I, 672).
