This volume contains Victor Hugo's 1833 historical play, "Mary Tudor".
It portrays the rise, fall, and eventual execution of Fabiano Fabiani, a
fictional favourite of Mary I of England (1516-1558). Fabiani is
incarcerated within the Tower of London and remains there until his
death, despite the Queen's later desire to spare his life. Highly
recommended for lovers of historical Romance. Contents include: "First
Day", "Second Day", "Third Day Part I. Which of the Two?", and "Third
Day Part II". Victor Marie Hugo (1802 - 1885) was a French novelist,
dramatist, and poet belonging to the Romantic movement. He is widely
hailed as one of the most accomplished and well-known French writers,
originally achieving renown for his poetical endeavours-the most notable
of which are the volumes "Les Contemplations" and "La Légende des
siècles". Outside of his native country, Hugo's best-known works are his
novels: "Les Misérables" (1862) and "Notre-Dame de Paris" (1831),
commonly known as "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame". Aside from his literary
achievements, he also produced over 4,000 beautiful drawings and was a
prominent campaigner for social and political issues, including
abolishing capital punishment. Many vintage books such as this are
becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this
book now in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition complete with a
specially commissioned new biography of the author.
