Victor Hugo Et Les Poetes Latins: Poesie Et Reecriture Pendant l'Exil - Paperback

by Romain Vignest (Author)

Victor Hugo learnt poetry by reading and translating the Latin poets and kept inscribing them within his work. As an idealistic and humanistic project completing a tradition within which latinity is both matrix and emblem, the Hugolian palimpseste is an absolute masterpiece.
