Introduction



Reflections on Victor Hugo’s “Les Misérables”


Twenty-five years ago, I wrote a study guide on “Les Misérables” to help my senior pupils produce a piece of writing on it. A year or so later, I thought other students might find it useful so I uploaded it to the internet.

I am reproducing it here because the site to which it was uploaded has been deleted, but I would like to think use may yet be found for the content of my notes.

Apart from discussion and analysis of characters and themes, you will find brief reviews of a variety of film versions of Hugo’s sweeping story, and my thoughts on the musical version.

I hope you find these notes of some value.
