Excerpt from Ruy Blas The study of some part of Hugo's work is, therefore, essen tial in any, even the most cursory, survey of French literature. His dramas adapt themselves more easily to such study than his other works, chiefly because the theatre was chosen as the battle-ground of the innovators in their contest with the con servatives. It seems to be conceded, at least by usage, if not otherwise, that Ray Bias and Harnam' are to be the stand-bys for college class-work, and the former has slightly the lead as a favorite, in that the poet has therein reached a higher plane of dramatical lyrism than in the latter.
