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.
