Alexandre Dumas, Henrik Ibsen and Ferdinand Kürnberger wrote so-called Catilina dramas in the context of the European revolution. Lucius Sergius Catilina was a Roman conspirator who tried to gain power by force and ultimately failed. The traditional perspective on the "villain" undergoes a gradual re-evaluation in literary works - but not without tradition: in the 18th century, Prosper Jolyot Crébillon and Voltaire stood against Giambattista Casti and Antonio Salieri.
