Information about the French writer Hugo

The connection with Nottier prompted Hugo to turn to romanticism and gradually become the leader of romanticism. 1827 Hugo wrote a long preface for his play Cromwell, which is the famous romantic literary declaration. In the preface, Hugo opposed the classical artistic viewpoint and put forward the romantic literary proposition: insisting on not formulating but expressing the plot concretely. In particular, he preached the principle of comparing truth, goodness and beauty with falsehood, evil and ugliness. This preface occupies an important position in the history of French literary criticism.
