HUGO VICTOR: (1802-1885) French Poet and Novelist.
A.L.S., Victor Hugo, one page, 8vo, 17th May [1849], to [Athanase Laurent Charles] Coquerel, in French. Hugo writes a letter of introduction and states, in part, `It is with great pleasure that I introduce you to Mr. Gayard, member of our Peace Congress. He is a distinguished writer and a bearer and friend of the higher Christian thoughts whose apostle is yourself. ´ With blank integral leaf. VGAthanase Laurent Charles Coquerel (1795-1868) French Protestant Theologian and Politician. Coquerel was elected deputy of the Constituent Assembly following the revolution of February 1848 and four days before the present letter was written he had become a member of the Legislative Assembly in the French Parliamentary elections of 13th & 14th May 1849.The French Poet, Novelist and Dramatist of the Romantic Movement, Hugo is considered one of the greatest and best-known French writers. In France his literary fame comes first from his poetry, however outside of France his best-known works are the novels Les Miserables (1862) and Notre-Dame de Paris (1831; known in English as The Hunchback of Notre-Dame). Hugo also earned respect as a campaigner for social causes, such as the abolition of capital punishment. (See also lot 71)
