A Man Whose Time Has Come: Victor Hugo
Victor Hugo was a French Writer whose fame, although not inconsiderable during his life, was fully realized many years after his death. He had the fortune - or perhaps the misfortune, we should remember - to be a man born to turbulent times, and was in thought, slightly ahead of them. His thinking was liberal and anti-authoritarian, supporting universal suffrage and the abolition of slavery. He was also very wary of the 'Great Men' of his time, such figures as Cromwell, or Napoleon Bonaparte.
Hugo was born to a France that was just about to experience the 1848 Uprising and Revolution, after which time 'the Tyrant' (Napoleon) would come to power for a short period. Victor Hugo self-exiled himself from the new republic of France, not because of his politics, but because he valued free thought and was deeply mistrustful of groupthink inspired by Napoleon's reign.
During his lifetime, Hugo's works were many - he was a 'jobbing writer' who produced essays and autobiographies on all of the great figures of recent history - from the Kings of France to Cromwell, Napoleon, even Torquemada. Alongside these he worked on plays and serialised 'adventure' or 'gothic' stories such as The Hunchback of Notre Dame. He was criticised for his Romantic melodrama by such Realist writers as Flaubert and Emile Zola - but time soon displayed the public's love for these emotional tragedies.
Not many people are aware, but Hugo was also an outstanding artist - with a style reminiscent of the early surrealists.
For the collector of Hugo's work there are no end of limited and deluxe editions of Notre Dame and les Miserables, but for the true first editions we must look to 1833 (The Hunchback of Notre Dame) and 1862 (Les Miserables). The former was published in a sombre black and grey hardcover in the UK by Richard Bentley, and is worth almost a thousand US dollars for a fine edition. Les Miserables, on the other hand - due to its size is published in ten austere volumes by A. Lacroix Verboeckhoven and Cie, Bruxelles and can be found for as little as five hundred US dollars for the entire set!
