Victor Hugo's Gothic novel Notre-Dame de Paris was published in 1831, fulfilling a deadline set by publisher Charles Gosselin in 1830.
Hugo initially agreed to write the novel in 1828 but delayed it due to other projects. Gosselin demanded completion by February 1831, prompting Hugo to work nonstop from September 1830. The novel was published in 1831, quickly translated across Europe, and later inspired the renovation of its setting.
