This was Hugo's most celebrated work to date and paved the way for his subsequent political writing. Set in the medieval period, the novel presents a harsh criticism of the society that degrades and shuns the hunchback, Quasimodo. In 1831, he published one of his most enduring works, Notre-Dame de Paris ( The Hunchback of Notre Dame).
Hugo's innovative brand of Romanticism developed over the first decade of his career. His first novel was published in 1823, followed by a number of plays. The same year, Hugo married Adèle Foucher and published his first book of poetry, Odes et poésies diverses. He founded the Conservateur Litteraire, a journal in which he published his own poetry and the work of his friends. Encouraged by his mother, Hugo embarked on a career in literature. Hugo studied law between 18, though he never committed himself to legal practice. His father was a military officer who later served as a general under Napoleon. Victor-Marie Hugo was born in Besançon, France, on February 26, 1802, to mother Sophie Trébuche and father Joseph-Léopold-Sigisbert Hugo. 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 and the Channel Islands. Victor Hugo was a French poet and novelist who, after training as a lawyer, embarked on the literary career.
