Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dramatic Works of Victor Hugo As the Translator of "Hernani" and "Ruy Blas," I may be 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 "Ruy Blas." But when the last-named tragedy was produced, Victor Hugo's fame 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CHAPTER I. EARLY YEARS. The glory of France touched its zenith at the period when our narrative opens. Europe virtually lay at the feet of Napoleon, who had risen to a height of authority and power which might well have satisfied the most vaulting ambition. Nations whose records extended back into the ages of antiquity trembled before him; and only one people, that of this sea-girt isle of Britain, declined to bend the knee to the all-conquering First Consul. Yet the philosophic mind, reflecting that the stability of a nation or a throne must be measured by its growth, must surely have distrusted the permanence of a grandeur and a greatness thus rapidly achieved. And speedily would such prevision have been justified, for in little more than one brief decade the sun of Napoleon set as suddenly as it arose. But while as yet the fame and the splendour of the conqueror were in their noonday, there was born at Besançon another child of genius, whose triumphs were to be won in a different and a nobler sphere. He was destined to touch, as with Ithuriel's spear, the sleeping spirit of French poesy, and to animate it with new life, vigour, and enthusiasm; he was to recall the divine muse from the drear region of classicism, and, by revivifying almost every branch of imaginative literature, he was himself to gain the triple crown of poet, romancist, and dramatist. And not alone for this was the child Victor Hugo to grow into manhood and venerable age. He was to become a great apostle of liberty, and as his life opened with the triumphs of the first Napoleon, so before its close he was destined to behold the last of that name pass away in the whirlwind, and France recover much of her prosperity and her power under the ægis of the Republic, of which the poet sang and for which he laboured.

Excerpt: ...plead his cause with tears, Beheld his perfidy--would'st love him still? Blanche. I cannot tell. He loves me! nay, adores. 'Twas but last night Triboulet (interrupting her, sneeringly). What time? Blanche. About this hour. Triboulet. Then witness here, and, if thou can'st, forgive! He draws her to the house, and directs her gaze through one of the apertures in the wall, where all that passes within may be seen. Blanche. Nought but a man I see. Triboulet. Look now! The King, dressed as an Officer, appears from a door which communicates with an apartment within. Blanche (starting). Oh, father! During the following scene, Blanche remains, fixed as a statue, against the fissure in the wall, observing what is passing within, inattentive to all else, and only agitated from time to time with a convulsive shudder. Scene 2.--Blanche--Triboulet outside--Saltabadil--The King--Maguelonne inside. The King (striking Saltabadil familiarly on the shoulder). Two things at once--your sister and a glass! Triboulet (aside). The morals of a King by grace divine; Who risks his life in low debaucheries, And doth prefer the wine that damns his sense, If proffered by some tavern Hebe's hand! The King (sings). "Changeful woman, constant never, He's a fool who trusts her ever, For her love the wind doth blow, Like a feather, to and fro." 1 saltabadil goes sullenly to the next room, returning tvith a bottle and glass, which he places cm the table. He then strikes twice on the floor with the handle of his long sword, and at this signal a young girl, dressed in the Gipsy dress, bounds quickly down the stair. As she enters, the King tries to seize her in Ms arms, but she slips away. Saltabadil re-commences cleaning his belt. The King (to Satabadil). My...
