Abstract

"Esteemed in France as the leading writer of Romantic dramas, Victor Hugo created a body of work that revolutionized the dramatic canon of his time. In this book, Albert W. Halsall presents the first complete treatment in English of Hugo's plays." "This synthesis offers a history, plot summary, and detailed analysis of all the dramas, from Cromwell and Torquemada to the juvenilia and the epic melodrama Les Burgraves. Particular attention is given to Hugo's practical experiments in staging his own plays, which he nearly always directed himself in the 1830s. Also documented are the receptions accorded to Hugo's dramas, from the battle that greeted Hernani in 1830 to Richard Eyre's 1996 production of Le Roi s'amuse at London's Royal National Theatre, which pointed to the sexual high jinks among the royals of the period."--Jacket.

Abstract

Bien qu'il ait prétendu avoir "tout autre chose à faire", Victor Hugo a laissé à l'histoire de l'art près de quatre mille dessins. Régulièrement enrichi, le remarquable fonds de plus de sept cents feuilles que conserve la Maison de Victor Hugo abrite aujourd'hui les plus célèbres chefs-d'oeuvre de l'écrivain-dessinateur. A travers une trentaine de paysages, d'architectures fantomatiques, de ruines, de villes désertées, de navires ballotés par les flots en fureur et de phares, "sentinelles de la nuit", cet ouvrage empreint de "choses vues", de souvenirs, de rêveries et de fantasmes, révèle l'insondable puissance visionnaire de Victor Hugo.
