GLOSSARY...................................................................................................................629 Victor Hugo 1 PREFACE FROM THE EDITOR Designed for school districts, educators, and students seeking to maximize performance on standardized tests, Webster’s paperbacks take advantage of the fact that classics are frequently assigned readings in English courses. By using a running thesaurus at the bottom of each page, this edition of The Hunchback of Notre-Dame by Victor Hugo was edited for students who are actively building their vocabularies in anticipation of taking PSAT®, SAT®, AP® (Advanced Placement®), GRE®, LSAT®, GMAT® or similar examinations.1 Webster’s edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number of synonyms and antonyms for difficult and often ambiguous English words that are encountered in other works of literature, conversation, or academic examinations. Extremely rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions are given lower priority in the notes compared to words which are “difficult, and often encountered” in examinations. Rather than supply a single synonym, many are provided for a variety of meanings, allowing readers to better grasp the ambiguity of the English language, and avoid using the notes as a pure crutch. Having the reader decipher a word’s meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary retention and understanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages. If a difficult word is not noted on a page, chances are that it has been highlighted on a previous page. A more complete thesaurus is supplied at the end of the book; Synonyms and antonyms are extracted from Webster’s Online Dictionary. Definitions of remaining terms as well as translations can be found at www.websters-online- dictionary.org.

Victor Hugo 3 PREFACE % A few years ago, while visiting or, rather, rummaging about Notre-Dame, the author of this book found, in an obscure nook of one of the towers, the following word, engraved by hand upon the wall: ANArKH. These Greek capitals, black with age, and quite deeply graven in the stone, with I know not what signs peculiar to Gothic calligraphy imprinted upon their forms and upon their attitudes, as though with the purpose of revealing that it had been a hand of the Middle Ages which had inscribed them there, and especially the fatal and melancholy meaning contained in them, struck the author deeply. He questioned himself; he sought to divine who could have been that soul in torment which had not been willing to quit this world without leaving this stigma of crime or unhappiness upon the brow of the ancient church. Afterwards, the wall was whitewashed or scraped down, I know not which, and the inscription disappeared. For it is thus that people have been in the habit of proceeding with the marvelous churches of the Middle Ages for the last two hundred years. Mutilations come to them from every quarter, from within as Thesaurus calligraphy: (n) script, writing, embossed. v) low spirits; (n) gloominess, penmanship, lettering, chirography, marvelous: (adj) wonderful, fantastic, depression. ANTONYMS: (n) handwriting, letters, pencraft, incredible, fabulous, extraordinary, happiness, cheerfulness, hopefulness, beautiful handwriting, print. tremendous, grand, astonishing, optimism; (adj) happy, bright, cheery, engraved: (adj) carved, inscribed, terrific, great; (adj, v) prodigious. satisfied. etched, sculptured, chased, cut in, ANTONYMS: (adj) ordinary, nook: (n) angle, niche, recess, hole, graphic, graven; (prep) insculptured; mundane, abysmal, bad, dreadful, coign, bay, compartment, oriel, cove, (v) fixed, imprinted. unworthy, dire, humdrum, refuge, haven. graven: (adj) carved, engraved, etched, unimpressive, unremarkable, boring. towers: (n) edifice. sculptured, sculptile, sculpted, melancholy: (adj, v) dreary; (adj, n) whitewashed: (adj) overpowered, inscribed, carven. gloom, melancholic; (adj) depressed, overcome, crushed, conquered, imprinted: (adj) printed, marked, dejected, dismal, gloomy, doleful; (n, beaten, routed, painted.
