Synopsis
Arranged chronologically, this abundant sampling of the oeuvre of Hugo (1802-1885) chronicles his growth as a poet. The original French is set beside the translations, which render Hugo's formal rhyme scheme in rhyming English. Named a Best Book of 2001 by the Los Angeles Times.

Industry Reviews
"[A] monumental achievement....[T]he translations are made into English verse with outstanding skill and power, the product of the most informed decisions about what at any moment should be sacrificed--with regard to both diction and to formal and metrical matters--to gain something else. It is obvious that the translators know English poetry thoroughly and deeply and they have managed to catch Hugo's grand tone and his wit, his highly patterned and his more colloquial kinds of line. They have been able throughout, without stylistic fanfare, to rescue so many occasional moments which are usually lost in translation....The Blackmores' selection has been...carefully considered, and--aside from the amazingly high quality of the translations themselves--presented with...elegantly framed and useful apparatus...."
