About Victor Hugo

Victor-Marie Hugo was born in Besançon France in 1802. A precocious writer in 1827 he published his epic verse drama Cromwell a political allegory whose preface might be regarded as a Romanticist manifesto. The Hunchback of Notre-Dame followed in 1831 and throughout the following decade he wrote a number of plays stories and poetry collections. However his literary output in the few years after 1843 when his daughter died in a drowning accident was sparse. He began a new novel as an outlet for his grief but would only complete it many years later as Les Misérables (1862). He died in 1885.
