▪ Hungarian author
born Nov. 11, 1791, Kecskemét, Hung., Austrian Habsburg domain [now in Hungary]
died April 16, 1830, Kecskemét

      Hungarian lawyer and playwright whose historical tragedy Bánk bán achieved its great reputation only after his death.

      A lawyer, Katona was also interested in the stage and wrote several plays of little literary merit. In 1815 he wrote Bánk bán, which, though he entered it for a literary prize and in 1820 had it printed, remained unnoticed until the mid-1830s. Disappointed by his failure to achieve literary success, Katona turned to law and spent his last years as attorney general of his native town.

      Bánk bán is the finest Hungarian drama of the 19th century, and an opera based on it has remained popular in Hungary. The play's central figure, Bánk, the highest dignitary (bán) at the court of Andrew II (1205–35), tries, in the king's absence, to prevent a rebellion against the German-born queen Gertrude. Meanwhile the queen's brother Otto tries to seduce Bánk's wife and finally rapes her. Bánk unjustly suspects the queen of connivance in this and kills her. Bánk's tragic revenge is motivated by the sight of his wife's madness and by the bitter complaints of the serf Tiborc, the victim of exploitation by the queen's German entourage. Bánk's complex character and the conflict between duty and personal grief make Bánk bán a tense and poignant drama.
