183770803Paris: Félix Bonnaire 1837. Fine. Félix Bonnaire Paris 1837 13.50 x 21.50 cm relié Edition with some parts in first edition. Autograph inscription from the author: ""A mon cousin et bon ami Sicard. Auguste Barbier."" ""To my cousin and good friend Sicard. Auguste Barbier."" Followed by a note: ""Après la mort de M. Sicard M. Auguste Barbier est venu à Angers et a donné ce livre à M. Selou notaire."" ""After the death of M. Sicard M. Auguste Barbier came to Angers and gave this book to M. Selou notary."" Iambes is augmented with 3 unpublished poems and the collection Lazare appears for the first time. Contemporary half green Russian leather with corners. Smooth spine decorated with a large central decorative panel roll tool at foot. Gilt title and date. Rubbing to corners. Some pale foxing and browning. Very handsome copy. Les Iambes initially appeared in 1832 and remains the author's best-known collection which made him immediately famous and made him the spokesman for the July 1830 Revolution and one of the essential figures of Romanticism. ""This collection ranks him among the greatest combat poets between Agrippa d'Aubigné and Victor Hugo"" Laffont-Bompiani Dictionnaire des Oeuvres. Hugo said he found in Iambes ""astonishing verses that no one else will ever write again"" and Baudelaire that he was ""naturally a poet and a great poet."" The series of poems on social misery Lazare which completes the work is one of Barbier's greatest successes and makes the entire collection the most important published by the author in an inspiration that the poet for many critics would never surpass again.
