Les Misérables: History, Revolution, and Victor Hugo’s Vision

Offered alongside our showing of Les Misérables on Friday, May 22, this class explores the historical context and literary significance of Victor Hugo’s masterwork. We will examine the social unrest, political ideals, and human struggles that shape the novel, as well as how its themes resonate across adaptations, including the film. This session provides valuable background for both viewers and fans of the story.
