Hugo, Hernani, Hero
On this day in 1830 Victor Hugo's Hernani premiered in Paris. Though the play is rarely read or staged now, the opening night is regarded as one of the most momentous in French theater history, part of a larger and most theatrical conflict between the new-wave bohemians in Hugo's "Romantic Army" (these included Dumas, Balzac and Berlioz) and the old-guard Classicists -- a conflict soon decisively won. |

"Intellectual and moral growth is no less essential than material betterment. Knowledge is a viaticum; thought is a primary necessity; truth is as much a source of nourishment as corn. Argument lacking knowledge and wisdom grows thin. We must pity minds, no less than stomachs, that go unfilled. If there is anything more poignant than a body dying for lack of food it is a mind dying for lack of light."
-- Les Misérables (IV.7.iv) | | Victor Hugo In Memorandum
Features a bibliography, pictures, quotes, links, and and brief analysis of Notre-Dame de Paris, Les Miserables, and Quatre-Vingt Treize.
"His genius of words puts him in the company of Shakespeare, Dante, Homer, and several others, producing masterpieces built to withstand time and eternally touch the human heart." | |
