Victor Hugo (1802 – 1885), a poet, novelist, and dramatist, was one of the most important and popular among all French Romantic writers. Though regarded in France as one of its greatest poets, Hugo is better known abroad for such novels as “Notre-Dame de Paris” (1831) and “Les Misérables” (1862). He was the third son of Joseph-Léopold-Sigisbert Hugo, a Major and, later, General in Napoleon’s Army. (The image of the author we included on our website is NOT in the book.)
