noun
- The fervent admiration of the works and literary theories of French writer Victor Hugo (1802–1885).“The principal took small heed of his pupils; imported teachers from Paris, and shut himself up in his closet reading Petrus Borel, the “Lycanthrope,” Gautier and Barbara, de Merval and Lamartine, but above all, Victor Hugo. From these studies the schoolmaster would sally forth into his school-rooms, and instruct his boys in the religion, the fanaticism of Hugolatry.”
