Victor Hugo is best known in France for his poetry.

He is considered the greatest French poet, period.

A lot of Hugo's novels are swashbucklers; just not as many as Dumas works! :-)

THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME is another of Hugo's great books.

“Victor Hugo is best known for his poetry”

Thanks for that info. On one of the “Extras” on the film last night they mentioned the writings between he and his mistress which amounted to thousands of letters of professed love over 30 or so years. She was given much credit for her writings as well as Hugo.

People just don’t write any more do they:)
