Japanese: エルナニ合戦 - えるなにがっせん

...After many twists and turns, Hernani finally marries Doña Sol, but on the night of their wedding, Llull Gomes pressures him to fulfill the knightly vows they had made earlier, and the bride and groom die by drinking poison, and Llull Gomes, seeing this, also commits suicide. When the play was performed, it sparked a battle known as the "Hernani Battle" between the Romantics led by Hugo and the conservative Neoclassicals, leading to the victory of Romantic drama and paving the way for the rise of Romanticism in the 1930s. Although the characterization of the characters is flawed, the lyricism that permeates the entire play and the beautiful backgrounds ensure that it remains a masterpiece of French Romantic drama. ...

After the July Revolution of 1830, he worked as a journalist, writing literary and art criticism, while also publishing poetry and novels.
