As I participate in @lesmisletters (a project that emails you a chapter a day of Les Misérables), I’m slowly working my way through an entry for Les Misérables! (For convenience, quotes are pasted from the Hapgood translation, courtesy of Project Gutenberg, with an occasional light edit from me with reference to the original French text. I may make a French version in the future.)
I plan to highlight visual descriptions as I read along and add them all in one go once I’ve collected a few, so I plan to post here when I make an update, and of course upon completion as well.
If anyone is interested in helping speed up the process, since I don’t plan to read ahead too drastically and it will thus take about a year to complete, feel free to request edit access. As long as you promise to try your best to adhere to my citation/formatting style I’d be happy to add you, and feel free to give me a name or moniker you’d like to add to the document for credit!
If you’re new here, the Visual Notes Library is a folder of documents compiling physical/visual descriptions of characters from various novels to provide reference for illustrators. You’re free to use them as you’d like, with or without credit, but tagging @visualnoteslibrary #visual notes library or #visualnoteslibrary would be appreciated and will get you a reblog from me :)! Current entries include Little Women, War and Peace, Dracula and The Count of Monte Cristo.
