Catalogue Note

William Shakespeare fut écrit en exil. Hugo avait promis une préface à la traduction de Shakespeare par son fils François-Victor. La préface se développa et amena Victor Hugo à s'interroger sur l'art, les génies et le rôle du poète.
Théophile Gautier fait partie des proches de Victor Hugo. Il participa à la "bataille" d'Hernani, ameutant du monde au soir de la première. Les deux hommes furent amis tout au long de leur vie. Adèle Hugo l'appréciait également beaucoup.
