"Victor Hugo" by Théophile Gautier is a literature-focused memoir written in the early 20th century. The text reflects on the life and impact of Victor Hugo, framed within the context of the Romantic literary movement in France. It particularly highlights the tumultuous atmosphere surrounding the first performances of Hugo's plays, especially "Hernani," and the passionate debates between the Romantic and classical schools. The opening of the memoir immerses readers in the vibrant literary landscape of 1830 Paris, a period characterized by creative effervescence and the resurgence of poetry and art. Gautier recalls excitement and fervor as young artists and poets rallied around Hugo’s works, eagerly anticipating the premiere of "Hernani." With vivid descriptions, he paints a picture of his youthful ambitions, the camaraderie among artists in their struggle against classical norms, and their overwhelming admiration for Hugo, whom they regarded as a champion of their cause. As Gautier navigates his experiences leading up to and during the revolutionary premiere, he conveys the intense emotions of both anticipation and fear that defined that pivotal moment in literary history.
