BARBIER, HENRI AUGUSTE (1805-1882)

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 387 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAI-BAR
BARBIER, HENRI AUGUSTE (1805-1882) , French dramatist and poet, was born in Paris on the 29th of
April
  1805. Inspired by the revolution of July he poured forth a
series
  of eager, vigorous poems, denouncing, crudely enough, the evils of the time. They are spoken of collectively as the lambes (1831), though the designation is not strictly applicable to all. As the name suggests, they are modelled on the verse of Andre
Chenier
 . They include La Curee, La Popularite, L'Idole, Paris,
Dante
 , Quatre-vingt-treize and Varsovie. The rest of Barbier's poemsare forgotten, and when, in 1869, he received the
long
  delayed honour of admission to the
Academy
 , Montalembert expressed the general sentiment in his Barbier7 mais it est mort! It was even asserted, though without
foundation
 , that he was not the real author of the Jambes. He died at Nice on the 13th of
February
  1882. He collaborated with Leon de Wailly in the libretto of
Berlioz
 's opera, Benvenuto Cellini, and his works include two
series
  of poems on the political and social troubles of Italy and England, printed in later editions of lambes et poemes.
