After Schlegel made Camões famous in Germany at the beginning of the 19th century, many dramatic texts were written about the life of the author of The Lusiads. It was the fashion for artist dramas (künstlerdramen). Wilhem von Chézy, Uffo von Horn, Friedrich Halm, and Hermann Theodor Schmid wrote plays, although none of them were characteristic of this genre. Friedrich Adolf Ferdinand Flotow and Gustav Heirich Gans zu Putlitz also dedicated an opera to Camões.
