Hugo, Victor (1802-1885) French novelist, poet, and dramatist; his best-known novels are Notre Dame de Paris (The Hunchback of Notre Dame in English), and Les Misérables. Manuscript Letter Signed, Paris, November 5, 1882, 1 p, octavo, in French. In part: "I authorize the poet Catulle Mendès to take the name 'Jehan Trotto' (Jean-Jehan Trollo) from my novel 'Notre Dame de Paris…." A penciled note in French at the top of the page states that the document is in the hand of Catulle Mendès and signed by Victor Hugo. Mendès (1841-1909) was a French poet, critic, and novelist of the Parnassian school. He founded the Revue fantaisiste and wrote articles for the Parnasse contemporain. There are a few ink smears in the body of the letter; Hugo's signature is large and bold. A rare mention of one of Hugo's most beloved works.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,250.
