Casimir Delavigne (1793–1843) was the most talented of the dramatists, filling the gap between neoclassical tragedy and romantic drama, Delavigne first achieved popularity in 1819 with his play with Les Vêpres Sicilians. Inspired by the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, he wrote two impassioned poems. His “La Parisienne”, set to music by Daniel Auber, was on the lips of every Frenchman, as popular the Marseillaise.
