He stood out on the Parisian literary scene with his plays, particularly tragedies, such as "Les Vêpres siciliennes" (1819) and "Le Paraf" (1822). His poems, often with patriotic and historical themes, such as the "Chant des Girondins", gained popularity. Delavigne was also elected to the French Academy in 1825.
