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