Reviews

"Written from the body and soul, Juliette Drouet's love letters to Victor Hugo, spanning some fifty years but written in and for the moment, are engaging bits of ecriture feminine. Filled with wordplay and allusion to contemporary events both personal and public, these texts present formidable translation problems expertly contextualized by the translator in her introduction, notes, and glossary."
