Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poems of Victor Hugo The conviction that Victor Hugo's permanent fame is to rest largely upon his poetry, the evident fact that it is just this part of his work that is least adequately represented in the reading of American students, and indeed of the American public generally, and the belief that for many the formidable array of volumes in which his poetry is con tained is a chief obstacle to a better acquaintance with the poet - these are the considerations that have led to the preparation of this volume. Its purpose will have been attained if it contribute somewhat to the wider knowledge and the juster appreciation in this country of Victor Hugo as poet.
