Victor-Marie Hugo (1802-1885), influential novelist and poet whose works include Les Misérables and Notre-Dame de Paris (The Hunchback of Notre-Dame). Though a conservative royalist in his youth, he moved to the political left as the decades passed; he became a passionate supporter of republicanism and of a European Union. His work touches upon most of the political and social issues and artistic trends of his time. Engraving after an 1829 lithograph by Achille Devéria (1800-57).
