Author

Victor Hugo (1802–1885) was the towering figure of French Romanticism — poet, playwright, novelist, and public conscience of nineteenth-century France. Notre-Dame de Paris made the cathedral and Quasimodo immortal; Les Misérables turned Jean Valjean's long flight into a national epic of justice, love, and redemption. Hugo wrote at full volume: crowded streets, grand passions, and a politics of pity that refused to look away from the poor.
