‘Oliver Cromwell’ was written in 1827, but was not performed until 1956. The reasons were its length of almost 7000 verses and Hugo’s gigantic list of characters. The drama tells the story of Oliver Cromwell's internal conflicts in being offered the crown of England. The preface is nowadays considered as one of the manifestos of the Romantic movement.

Excerpt from Oliver Cromwell, Vol. 1 of 2 The drama contained in the following pages has nothing to commend it to the attention or the goodwill of the public. It has not the advantage of having fallen under the veto of the censorship, to attract the interest of the various shades of political opinion, nor the honor of having been formally rejected by an infallible reading committee, to procure for it at the outset the sympathy of literary men of taste. It presents itself therefore for the consideration of the public, like the infirm man in the Gospel, solus, pauper, nudus, - alone, poor and naked. It was not without some hesitation that the author determined to burden his drama with notes and a preface. Those things are ordinarily a matter of utter indifference to the reader.
