Vörösmarty Mihály (1800 - 1855) - a reformkor legnagyobb költője és irodalmi vezére. Szegény nemesi családból született. Tizenhét éves korától kezdve magának kellett gondoskodnia megélhetéséről és tanulmányai költségéről. Kilenc évig nevelősködött egy nagybirtokos családnál, közben jogot tanult, ügyvédi vizsgát tett. 1825-ben kiadta a honfoglalásról írt hatalmas eposzát, a Zalán futását.

An accomplished poet and the author of Canadian Hungarian Literature (1897 - 2017), Frank Veszely brings to the English reader the rich treasure-house of folk, classical, and modern Hungarian poetry (1000 - 2020).

From the poems emerges a nation’s love of freedom with the breath and depth of humanity impossible not to respond to.
The third volume in the History of the Literary Cultures of East-Central Europe focuses on the making and remaking of those institutional structures that engender and regulate the creation, distribution, and reception of literature. The focus here is not so much on shared institutions but rather on such region-wide analogous institutional processes as the national awakening, the modernist opening, and the communist regimentation, the canonization of texts, and censorship of literature. These processes, which took place in all of the region’s cultures, were often asynchronous and subjected to different local conditions. The volume’s premise is that the national awakening and institutional...
"Audiences at theaters, fairs, statue raisings, and commemorations of national figures; political rallies; ethnic mobs; May Day celebrations; monarchical festivities; and finally war rallies all take up places in this history. Not only insurgent crowds, but festive ones as well have political and material goals, Freifeld finds. And hope for liberal nationalism, which Hungarian crowds carried from their experience of 1848, thus continued to confront the monarchy, its bureaucracy, and the gentry.
