The Hunchback of Notre-Dame
''The Hunchback of Notre-Dame'' ((フランス語:Notre-Dame de Paris)) is a French Romantic/Gothic novel by Victor Hugo published in 1831. The title refers to the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, on which the story is centered, and the true protagonist of the story Esméralda.〔hubpages.com/entertainment/the-multi-faceted-esmeralda〕 English translator Frederic Shoberl named the novel "''The Hunchback of Notre Dame''" in 1833 because at the time, Gothic novels were more popular than Romance novels in England.〔hubpages.com/entertainment/quasimodo〕 The story is set in Paris, France in the Late Middle Ages, during the reign of Louis XI (1461–1483).
==Background==
Victor Hugo began writing ''Notre-Dame de Paris'' in 1829, largely to make his contemporaries more aware of the value of the Gothic architecture, which was neglected and often destroyed to be replaced by new buildings, or defaced by replacement of parts of buildings in a newer style. For instance, the medieval stained glass panels of Notre-Dame de Paris had been replaced by white glass to let more light into the church.〔:fr:Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris〕 This explains the large descriptive sections of the book, which far exceed the requirements of the story. A few years earlier, Hugo had already published a paper entitled ''Guerre aux Démolisseurs'' (''War to the Demolishers'') specifically aimed at saving Paris' medieval architecture.〔:fr:Notre-Dame de Paris (roman)#cite note-21〕 The agreement with his original publisher, Gosselin, was that the book would be finished that same year, but Hugo was constantly delayed due to the demands of other projects. In the summer of 1830 Gosselin demanded that Hugo complete the book by February 1831. Beginning in September 1830, Hugo worked nonstop on the project thereafter. The book was finished six months later.
