Victor Hugo: Writer's Block"Victor Hugo normally had little trouble producing such books as The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Les Miserables. But sometimes he did run into difficulties and was tempted to do things other than write [this, for example]. At such times he forced himself to work by having his servant take away all of his clothes, with instructions not to return them for several hours. Left with his own nude self, and pen and paper, there was nothing to do but sit down and write."
Hugo, Victor (1802-1985) French poet, novelist, and dramatist [noted for his leading role in the Romantic movement in French literature; and for such works as his play Hernani (1836), his verse collection Les Contemplations (1856), and such
novels as The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, Les Miserables (1862), and The Toilers of the Sea (1866)]
