Adèle Hugo

Adèle Hugo (24 August 1830 – 21 April 1915) was the fifth and youngest child of French writer Victor Hugo. She is remembered for developing schizophrenia as a young woman, which led to a romantic obsession with a British military officer who rejected her. Her story has been retold in film and books, such as François Truffaut's 1975 film The Story of Adèle H.

This article is about the daughter of Victor Hugo. She is not to be confused with Adèle Foucher.
