Industry Reviews
"Hugo's genius was for the creation of simple and recognisable myth. The huge success of 'Les Miserables' as a didactic work on behalf of the poor and oppressed is due to its poetic and myth-enlarged view of human nature....Hugo himself called this novel 'a religious work'; and it has indeed the necessary air of having been written by God in one of his more accessible and saleable moods."
V. S. Pritchett
"I have quite finished 'Les Miserables'. I know very well that Victor Hugh analyses in a different way than do Balzac and Zola, but he probes to the bottom of things just as well."
letters - Vincent Van Gogh (04/18/1983)
"From the bare abstract, the story does not seem to promise much pleasure to novel-readers, yet it is all alive with the fiery genius of Victor Hugo, and the whole representation is so intense and vivid that it is impossible to escape from the fascination it exerts over the mind. Few who take the book up will leave it until they have read it through. It is morbid...but its morbid elements are so combined with sentiments abstractly Christian that it is calculated to wield a...pernicious influence.... Its tendency is to weaken that abhorrence of crime which is the great shield of most of the virtue which society possesses, and it does this by attempting to prove that society itself is responsible for crimes it cannot prevent, but can only punish....Considered as a passionate romance, appealing to the sympathies of the ordinary readers of novels, it will do infinitely more harm than good."
Atlantic Monthly - Edwin Percy Whipple (07/18/1962)
