About
Exploring the enduring popularity of Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables, this collection combines readings of the best-selling novel with reflections on how it has permeated the popular imagination through a selection of its multimedia adaptations including musical theater and film from the silent period to today's digital platforms. The essays deepen our understanding of Les Misérables as a work that blends social commentary with artistic vision and raise important questions about the cultural practice of adaptation.
