Overview

For most of his life, Victor Hugo (1802-1885) was the most famous writer in the world. His legacy includes the nineteenth century's most celebrated works of drama, fiction, memoir, and criticism. But in his day Hugo was known foremost as a poet - indeed as the greatest French poet of the age. He wrote with passion about history, erotic experience, familial love, philosophy, nature, social justice, art, and mysticism.

In this new bicentennial edition, acclaimed poet and translator Brooks Haxton offers an exquisite selection of Hugo's finest work- love poems, historical tableaux, elegy, and idyll, including his incomparable "Boaz Asleep," which Marcel Proust acclaimed the most beautiful poem of the nineteenth century.
