The Bishop’s Candlesticks ------林佳臻 刘洋 （主教的烛台） Author Victor Hugo （1802–1885） (Full name Victor Marie Hugo) French poet, dramatist, novelist, essayist, and critic. INTRODUCTION Hugo is considered one of the leaders of the Romantic movement in French literature as well as one of its most prolific and versatile authors. Although chiefly known outside France for the novels Notre Dame de Paris (1831; The Hunchback of Notre Dame) and Les misérables (1862; Les Misérables), He is renowned in his own country primarily for his contributions as a Romantic poet. Hugos verse has been favorably compared to the works of William Shakespeare, Dante, and Homer; and he has influenced such diverse poets as Charles Baudelaire, Alfred Lord Tennyson, and Walt Whitman. Hugos technical virtuosity, stylistic experimentation, startling range of emotion, and variety and universality of his themes not only established him as a leader of the French Romantic school but anticipated modern poetry.
