===Sequels===
* [[Laura Kalpakian]]'s ''Cosette: The Sequel to Les Misérables'' was published in 1995. It continues the story of Cosette and Marius but is more a sequel to the musical than to the original novel.
* In 2001, two French novels by {{ill|François Cérésa|fr}} that continue Hugo's story appeared: ''Cosette ou le temps des illusions'' and ''Marius ou le fugitif''. The former has been published in an English translation. Javert appears as a hero who survived his suicide attempt and becomes religious; Thénardier returns from America; Marius is unjustly imprisoned.<ref>{{cite news|last=Riding|first=Alan|author-link=Alan Riding|title=Victor Hugo Can't Rest in Peace, As a Sequel Makes Trouble|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2001/05/29/books/arts-abroad-victor-hugs-can-t-rest-in-peace-as-a-sequel-makes-trouble.html|access-date=4 January 2013|newspaper=The New York Times|date=29 May 2001}}</ref> The works were the subject of an unsuccessful lawsuit, ''[[Société Plon et autres v.
