The hunchback of Notre Dame, Quasimodo, is crowned Pope of Fools, as the ugliest person in the city. The novel opens with the Festival of Fools in Paris in 1482. The novel reached well beyond the literary arena, too, influencing a resurgence of Gothic architecture and a renovation of Notre-Dame in the nineteenth century. Hugo’s wide vision of life, encompassing everyone from king to beggar, defines his text and influenced many other authors, including Balzac and Dickens. Hunchback uses the imposing cathedral as the symbolic witness to a history of a people, and is notable in its attention to the downtrodden class of beggars who are its protagonists. The action of the novel takes place in Paris, France during the latter portion of the Middle Ages, while Louis XI was in power. The title was amended to the one by which it is commonly known when it was translated into English in 1833, due to the Gothic being more popular than romance in England at the time. The original French title was Notre-Dame de Paris and refers to the Notre Dame Cathedral, a focal point of the story. jnLGdP.Victor Hugo’s Gothic French Romantic novel The Hunchback of Notre-Dame was first published in 1831.
