Part literary biography, part manifesto on artistic genius, William Shakespeare is Victor Hugo's sweeping tribute not only to the Bard but to the creative spirit itself. Using Shakespeare as a springboard, Hugo delves into the nature of genius, the role of literature in society, and the evolution of drama. This ambitious work reveals more about Hugo's own philosophy and ideals than it does about Shakespeare, making it a landmark of Romantic literary criticism.

Autorenporträt
Victor-Marie Hugo (1802 - 1885) was a French poet, novelist, playwright, essayist, visual artist, statesman, human rights campaigner, and perhaps the most influential exponent of the Romantic movement in France. In France, Hugo's literary reputation rests on his poetic and dramatic output. Among many volumes of poetry, Les Contemplations and La Légende des siècles stand particularly high in critical esteem, and Hugo is sometimes identified as the greatest French poet. In the English-speaking world his best-known works are often the novels Les Misérables and Notre-Dame de Paris (sometimes translated into English as The Hunchback of Notre-Dame). Though extremely conservative in his youth, Hugo moved to the political left as the decades passed; he became a passionate supporter of republicanism, and his work touches upon most of the political and social issues and artistic trends of his time.
