LETTERS TO VARIOUS PERSONS. — JOURNEY ON THE RHINE. 1836-1851. To Mlie. Louise Bektin, at Les Roches. Mont Saint-Michel, 27ft June, 1836. I AM writing to you, mademoiselle, from Mont Saint- Michel, which is really the most beautiful spot in the world, — next to Bievre, of course. Les Roches is lovely and charming ; a great advantage it possesses over the forbidding mass of dungeons, towers, and rocks which bears the name of Mont Saint-Michel. It would not be easy to write from a more awe- inspiring place to a more delightful one. At this moment I am hemmed in by the sea which surrounds the mount. It must be horrible in winter, with its hurricanes, tempests, and shipwrecks. It is grand, aU the same. What a strange place Mont Saint-Michel is ! Around, as far as the eye can reach, infinite space, the blue horizon of the sea, the green horizon of the land, clouds, air, liberty, birds in full flight, ships with all VOL. n. 1 Downloaded from https://www.holybooks.com 2 THE LETTERS OF VICTOR HUGO. sails set, and then all at once, on the top of an old wall ahove our heads, through a barred window, the pale face of a prisoner. I have never felt so strongly as here the cruel antithesis which man sometimes makes with nature. You can have none of these sad thoughts. You are happy over there; happy with your excellent father, your kind relations ; happy in the view of your beau- tiful valley from your window ; happy in the prospect of your great success. I shall be in Paris between the 10th and 15th of July, quite at your disposal, and ready for Notre- Dame^ a poor plaster statue of which I can see from the casement of my room, perched in a beautiful trefoil niche of the fifteenth century. II. To Louis de Matnaed, at Martinique. 24ft May, 1837. We are still expecting you. Your kind and charm- ing letter told us you were soon returning ; we were all looking forward to it, and you have not yet ar- rived ! We want you badly here; we want you for our- selves, because we love you, and for my part because your generous and loyal friendship was one of the real joys of my life ; then we want you for your own sake, because here, I am sure, you would write us a fine book. We want you for the ideas which you would promote for art, which has so few followers like yourself ; we want you because a noble, honest face like yours, erect 1 La Esmeralda, for which Mile. Bertin was composing the music. Downloaded from https://www.holybooks.com ; TO LOUIS DE MAYNAKD. 3 amid so many drooping and sidelong glances, rests the eye and consoles the heart. At any rate, I hope you are doing something over there. Make up for your absence by some fine work, your natural product. Instead of the great human stage which you had here, you have the grand spectacle of nature ; instead of the strife of ideas, you have the placid harmony of things; if you have less of the world, you have more sunshine. As for me, I continue my task, waters much troubled, as you know, by the stones thrown into them ; I work, I study, I have three plays in my head, — you shall see one some of these days, — and then occasionally I write poetry. Our poUtics are still mean and petty, you remember they have not improved since you left us. Small men working at a small idea, very httle busy about nothing. Altogether, there are times when I envy you, — you a poet exiled in a sunny land, an exile which Ovid would have loved, in that beautiful Martinique which you have described so admirably. My fraternal love to you. III. To A WOEKnfGMAN' AUD POET. Paris, Zd October, 1837. Be proud of your title of workman. We are all workmen, God included, and in your case the brain works still more than the hands. The generous class to which you belong has a great future in store for it, but it must give the fruit time to ripen. This class, so noble and so useful, should eschew what makes little and seek what makes great ; it should Downloaded from https://www.holybooks.com 4 THE LETTERS OF VICTOR HUGO. try to discover reasons for love rather than pretexts for hatred ; it should learn to respect women and children ; it should read and study in its leisure moments; it should develop its intelligence, and it wiU achieve suc- cess. I have said in one of my works : The day when the people becomes intelligent, it will rule. In other words, civilization is the paramount thing. Sometimes it rules through one man, as with the popes ; sometimes through more than one, as with the senates; some- times through all, as will be the case with the people. Patience, therefore. Let us understand what exists, to be worthy of existence some day. Let the people work, for we all work. Let it love us, for we love it. Let it not disturb the young plant, barely sown, if it wishes to enjoy shade and fruit in the future. I am sure that aU these ideas are yours as well. Impress them on the people, of which your inteUigence makes you one of the natural leaders. Instead of sim- ply thanking you for your excellent verses, so flattering to me, I have indulged in this serious conversation. You win, I imagine, accept it as I offer it, as a token of sympathy and esteem. IV. To Victor Pavie. 28a November, 1837. You are quite right to continue to think a little of your friends in the Place Koyale. You are loved here, — loved, do you understand ? — and with all our hearts. You know, my dear Pavie, that friendship is a religion to me. And besides, who can be a better friend than you ? My wife and I often say this to each other in the Downloaded from https://www.holybooks.com TO LAMARTINE. 5 winter evenings, when we think of the many false faces which have betrayed us. A friend such as you are is a good and noble thing. Here I am troubled by worries, legal business,^ law- yers, and annoyances of every description. You must have seen something of this in the papers ; but what they do not tell you is that my thoughts are very often with you amidst all the whirl. David has given you my bust. I congratulate it ; it wiU henceforth be present at your intimate conversation and family talks ; I envy it. Amid the tumult which my enemies raise around me, I have built up a little sanctuary into which I gaze unceasingly. In it are my wife and my children, the sweet and happy side of my existence. come and see us this winter. Bring Do Theodore ; bring your good father. I do not say, Bring your wife, for when I am speaking to you I natiu-ally include her. V. To Lamaetine. Xith May, 1838. You have written a grand poem, my friend. La chute d^un ange is one of your most majestic creations. What will be the edifice, if these are only the bas-rehefs ! Never has the breath of nature more deeply penetrated and more amply inspired a work of art, from the base to the summit, and in its minutest details. I thank you for the happy hours which I have just spent closeted with your genius. I fancy that I have an ear for your voice. Consequently my admiration for 1 Lawsuit with the Comedie Fran^aise.

Yours ex imo pectore. VI. To M. Vedel, Manager of the Comidie Frangaise. MONTMIRAIL, 20th August, 1838. Deak Sir, — According to the terms of the judg- ment given in the suit between me and the Comidie Frangaise, and confirmed by decree, the Gomedie was to play Angela a certain number of times between the 20th of November, 1837, and the 20th of April, 1838, under a penalty of fifty francs damages for every day of delay. At the present date, August the 20th, the num- ber of performances has not been completed, and the result is that at this moment the Comidie Frangaise is indebted to me in the sum of eighteen thousand francs.

Ce fait, le voici: on assassine un peuple. Où? En Europe. Ce fait a-t-il des témoins? Un témoin, le monde entier. Les gouvernements le voient-ils? Non. Les nations ont au-dessus d'elles quelque chose qui est au-dessous d'elles les gouvernements. A de certains moments, ce contre-sens éclate: la civilisation est dans les peuples, la barbarie est dans les gouvernants. Cette barbarie est-elle voulue? Non; elle est simplement professionnelle. Ce que le genre humain sait, les gouvernements l'ignorent. Cela tient à ce que les gouvernements ne voient rien qu'à travers cette myopie, la raison d'état; le genre humain regarde avec un autre oeil, la conscience. Nous allons étonner les gouvernements européens en leur apprenant une chose, c'est que les crimes sont des crimes, c'est qu'il n'est pas plus permis à un gouvernement qu'à un individu d'être un assassin, c'est que l'Europe est solidaire, c'est que tout ce qui se fait en Europe est fait par l'Europe, c'est que, s'il existe un gouvernement bête fauve, il doit être traité en bête fauve; c'est qu'à l'heure qu'il est, tout près de nous, là, sous nos yeux, on massacre, on incendie, on pille, on extermine,

LIPPINCOTT COMPANY Ltd Westminster : ARCHIBALD CONSTABLE & CO 1902 Butler & Tanner, The Selwood Printing Works, Frome, and London. ^l&'il^li — Preface IT may be—to be exact, it is—a somewhat presumptuous thing to write a book and call it Alexandre Dumas. There is no question here of introducing an unknown man or discovering an unrecognized genius. Dumas is, and has been for the better part of a century, the property of all the world : there can be little new to say about one of whom so much has already been said. Remembering also, as I do, a dictum by one of our best known men of letters to the effect that the adequate biographer of Dumas neither is nor is likely to be, I accept the saying at this moment with all the imfeigned humility which experience entitles me to claim. My own behef on this point is that, if we could conceive a writer who combined in himself the anecdotal facility of Suetonius or Saint Simon, with the loaded brevity of Tacitus and the judicial irony of Gibbon, such an one might essay the task with a reasonable prospect of success—though, after all, the probability is that he would be quite out of S5nnpathy with Dumas.

Cette division renfermera des remarques sur le théâtre d'Alfred de Musset,-qui, comme nous tacherons de le montrer, a été le précurseur de Victor Hugo, dans ce genre dramatique,- et les jugements de la critique contemporaine. Une deuxième division discutera les rapports du "Théâtre en Liberté1*, avec l'oeuvre Romantique de Victor Hugo. Nous voulons nous débarrasser, tout d'abord, des réminis­ cences et des échos de l'inspiration romantique, qui sont présents dans le théâtre livresque, et puisqu'il nous paraît que ce sont surtout les^ situations et les personnages, qui sont encore de l'ancienne école, nous allons ainsi intituler la section A de cette division. Les sections B, et G, mon­ treront l'évolution des idées politiques et religieuses du poète, ainsi qu'elles se manifestent dans le "Théâtre en Liberté" Dans notre troisième division, nous essayerons de montrer les.

  • Louis BOULANGER (Vercelli, Piémont, 1806 – Dijon, 1867) Faust Dans
    Louis BOULANGER (Vercelli, Piémont, 1806 – Dijon, 1867) Faust dans son cabinet Vers 1833 Huile sur toile d’origine H. 46 cm ; L. 32,5 cm Annoté à deux reprises au dos à l’encre sur le châssis et sur une étiquette : « 3. Faust, peinture de Boulanger provenant de la collection de Victor Hugo ». Par ce tableau représentant Faust dans son cabinet, Louis Boulanger illustre l'un des aspects du mouvement romantique des années 1830. Il renoue en effet, par le choix du thème, avec la culture médiévale, l'une des sources privilégiées du Romantisme. Celle-ci sera redécouverte et remise à l'honneur autant par les peintres que par les écrivains, qui trouvent dans cette quête du passé, la nostalgie propre à leur inspiration personnelle. Cette transcription picturale ou littéraire du Moyen- Âge met alors en scène des événements réels et historiques ou des faits complètement légendaires, toujours replacés cependant dans un contexte moyenâgeux. L'école picturale romantique puisera dans un premier temps et, pendant les deux premières décennies du XIXème siècle, dans les ouvrages déjà existants mais souvent récemment traduits, de Walter Scott, Goethe, Schiller ou Shakespeare. De nouveaux thèmes, qui seront parallèlement popularisés par la peinture, vont ensuite être créés sous forme de romans, nouvelles ou pièces par les grands dramaturges français, Alexandre Dumas ou Victor Hugo surtout. Ces derniers incarnent justement cette nouvelle production littéraire, référence suprême des artistes troubadours. Louis Boulanger illustra d'ailleurs avec passion certaines œuvres de Victor Hugo, personnage qu'il vénéra toute sa vie avec dévotion, ayant eu l'occasion de faire sa connaissance grâce à l'un de ses maîtres, Achille Devéria.

Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, charts) are re­ produced by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand corner and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each original is also photographed in one exposure and is included in reduced form at the back of the book. These are also available as one exposure on a standard 35mm slide or as a 17" x 23" black and white photographic print for an additional charge. Photographs included in the original manuscript have been reproduced xerographically in this copy. Higher quality 6" x 9" black and white photographic prints are available for any photographs or illustrations appearing in this copy for an additional charge. Contact UMI directly to order.
