Set against the backdrop of historical preservation, the narrative delves into Hugo's passionate defense of medieval architecture, particularly the stained glass of Notre-Dame de Paris, which was replaced to increase light. The author faced delays due to other commitments but ultimately dedicated himself to completing the work under pressure from his publisher. This urgency led to a rich exploration of both the story and the architectural themes, reflecting Hugo's deep connection to Paris's cultural heritage.
