History
Victor-Marie Hugo (1802-1885) was born in Besançon to Joseph-Léopold-Sigisbert Hugo and Sophie Trébuchet. He married Adèle Foucher in 1822 and had a daughter. Hugo was first a foremost a novelist, poet, and dramatist and was considered the most important of French Romantic writers. In his later life, he became involved in politics as a supporter of the republican form of government. After three unsuccessful attempts, Hugo was elected in 1841 to the Académie Francaise. Following the 1848 revolution, with the formation of the Second Republic, Hugo was elected to the Constitutional Assembly and to the Legislative Assembly.
