Auteur

Né en 1802, Victor Hugo est l’auteur emblématique du Romantisme français. C’est avec Cromwell, publié en 1827, qu’il expose sa vision de la littérature débarrassée des règles contraignantes de la tragédie. C’est un véritable succès, qui va se transformer en “bataille” lors de la représentation de sa pièce Hernani, en 1830, où le modernisme prend la figure de Victor Hugo. Son positionnement politique, tout aussi moderne, l’entraîne à s’exiler pendant 20 ans, suite au coup d’état du 2 décembre 1851 qui proclame le Second Empire. Auteur de poésies, romans, pièces de théâtre, Victor Hugo est mort en 1885 et son corps repose au Panthéon.
