Welcome to my Classic Novel Study! The classic novel I am studying is The Hunchback of Notre-Dame. It was first published in 1831 by Romantic novelist Victor Hugo, who has also written the classic novel Les Miserables. The story first begins on January 6th, 1942. The novel has been adapted in many various texts, such as films and television films, theatre, musical theatre, music, ballet, and even radio adaptations have been read on the air. The novel, originally written in French, has been translated into English nine different times, dates ranging from 1833 to 2006. The intent of this blog is to thoroughly and critically analyze the piece selected and to take the reader through the general story. By doing so, I will be able to establish that The Hunchback of Notre-Dame is an authentic piece of classic literature.
