We explore the life of Victor Hugo and his main literary works. In addition, we discuss why he is regarded as one of the major figures of French and European literature.
Who was Victor Hugo?
Victor Hugo was a French novelist, poet and playwright, considered one of the greatest exponents of French literature and one of the most renowned intellectuals of the 19th century. His novels Les Misérables and The Hunchback of Notre-Dame are among the most celebrated and best-known works in European literature.
Brother of writers Eugène and Abel Hugo, Victor was also a political figure deeply committed to France and its history, and a fervent opponent of Napoleon III and the Second French Empire. For this reason, his work not only encompasses literary fiction, but political and moral speeches, as well as travel chronicles.
Victor Hugo was a central figure of European Romanticism. His work was acclaimed by writers, intellectuals, and the general French populace alike. Upon his death, the nation honored him with a state funeral, and he was buried in the Panthéon in Paris.

Victor Hugo and his time in Vianden
We are of course talking about Victor Hugo, one of greatest and best-known French writers.
While I was looking for a topic for this week's knowledge bite I stumbled across this article from 2020 that lists Victor Hugo's stay in Vianden as one of their fun facts, but does not provide a lot of information. As I am living close to Vianden, and drink the occasional Hugo cocktail in a restaurant named after Victor Hugo, I thought I would take this upon me. I think you can sense a theme here.
But before we begin with a brief biography of Victor Hugo, I just wanted to emphasise that even though the coincidence of the cocktail name is quite funny, it has nothing to do with the famous writer.
Victor Hugo (1802-1885) was a French poet and novelist who, after training as a lawyer, embarked on the literary career. He became one of the most important French Romantic poets, novelists and dramatists of his time, having assembled a massive body of work while living in Paris, Brussels, the Channel Islands and of course Vianden.
