I would say that Russian IS European, and that British is also European ..... but French is more European than either of them with regard to the matters we are discussing.

Yes, actually! It is one of the longer novels of the period.

Does the story take place in the first half of the 19th century, or was it published then? Or both?

The story was published in the first half of the 19th century but the setting takes place in the later years of the Middle Ages.

A semi-wild guess, but could it be Quasimodo from Hugo's Notre-Dame de Paris?

Yes, Quasimodo who once said to Esmerelda ... "I'm not even a real Modo. I am merely a quasi-Modo."
Your turn.
