Synopsis

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

As the Translator of Hernani and Ruy Bias, I maybe permitted to offer a few remarks on the three great dramas which are now presented in an English form to the English-speaking public. Each of these works is preceded by the Author s Preface, which perhaps exhausts all that had to be said of the play which follows from his own original point of view. It is curious to contrast the confident egotism, the frequent self-assertion, and the indignation at repression which mark the prefaces to Hernani and Le Roi s Amuse with the calm dignity of the very fine dramatic criticism which introduces the reader to Buy Bias. But when the last-named tragedy was produced, Victor Hugo sfame was established and his literary position secure; he no longer had need to assert himself, for if a few enemies still remained, their voices were but as the buzzing of flies about a giant. Trusting that the Author s Prefaces will be carefully read, I will endeavour only to supplement what is said in them. Hernani belongs emphatically to the romantic school, and to the period in European literature when the bonds of olden custom in all the arts were being broken often for good results, though not always.
