This is a high quality paperback of permanent value with good quality paper which will not yellow with age and with good quality flexible glue for the binding. It's in a chunky paperback about 20% bigger than the original Penguins and over 3cm thick as the paper is quite substantial.
This translation of the the longest play by Hugo is in verse and is a reprint of an old 19thc edition in a facsimile of the original and very readable typography.
I only know of one other translation of this historically important play and that one is in prose and also dates from the late 19thc. I've only found it included in various multi-volume editions of Hugo's complete works which proliferated at that time.
The only thing this edition lacks is the equally, or even more important, and much more famous preface which would make this a much thicker little volume. But the preface has often been published separately in collections of texts important in the history of 19thc Romanticism.
There is no introduction or editorial material.
