"Any reviewer who expresses rage and loathing for a novel is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae."

Including more than 80 poems in both French and English, this collection follows the poetry of Victor Hugo from his earliest poetic publications of the 1820s through works published after his death in 1885. Though recognized for his novels Les Miserables and The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Victor Hugo invested his most sustained creative energy in poems such as “Tomorrow, at dawn. . . ” and “Boaz Asleep.” The collection's introduction includes a description of Hugo's life and work, the selection, and a discussion of the challenges of translation. Comprehensive endnotes offer information about the poems and their publishing and historical contexts.
Victor Hugo (1802–1885) began writing poems and tragedies in early adolescence and finished his first novel in 1823 at the age of 21. Due to the volatile French politics and his dedication to a Republican government, Hugo fled his native country and remained in exile for 20 years writing his epic novel, Les Miserables. Recognized as one of France's best-loved poets and activists, Hugo was given a national funeral at the Pantheon, which was attended by 2 million French citizens. Stephen Monte is an assistant professor at the University of Chicago and is the author of the critical study Invisible Fences: Prose Poetry as a Genre in French and American Literature. He lives in Chicago.
